@glecharles I attended the PubU ThinkTank and then came on home. Lots of concerns over AI (slop titles flooding online stores as well as production folks worried about jobs), lots of conversations around freight (fuel costs, tariffs, etc.).

Totally different vibe than PubWest. Interesting. #ibpa

Other book awards have more flexibility in the publishing date: NOBA, Nautilus…
