"Following the #Hamas-led #Oct7 attacks on #Israel, #Jewish #authors have described an increasingly hostile environment in traditional #publishing. In fact, the number of #books marketed as Jewish have declined over the past three years — pointing to either fewer Jewish books, or fewer #publishers willing to market them as Jewish.
Even so, the demand for Jewish #romance #novels from Jewish readers has flourished, aided by The Matzah Ball’s #author #JeanMeltzer and a #bookclub she started called Jewish Joy.
“I think a reason why the community grew is because of what the romance genre itself offers the reader, which is basically happiness,” says #HeidiShertok, the author of two #Orthodox Jewish #romances and a leader of Jewish Joy. “We’re going to give you that happily ever after, no matter the struggles and the obstacles and the difficulties that the character is facing. And I think we need that so much right now, especially as #Jews.”

Axios: Exclusive: Small publishers hit hardest by search traffic declines. “Over the past two years, referral traffic from traditional search engines has declined by 60% for small publishers, compared with 47% for medium-sized publishers and 22% for large publishers, per Chartbeat.”

#Searchtraffic to #smallpublishers has dropped 60% over two years, significantly impacting their ability to build alternative #trafficsources. Larger #publishers are finding success with direct and internal traffic, while news and media sites are seeing growth in #email and #app #referrals. The impact of #AIchatbot referrals varies by site type. https://www.searchenginejournal.com/search-referral-traffic-down-60-for-small-publishers-data-shows/569959/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

Yet another #CEO saying that, because they and many of those who work for their #forprofit #company have done very well out of the existing #copyright regime, nothing should be allowed to change it, and certainly not #ai:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/sep/18/ai-authors-publishing-regulation
As a rejoinder, here are two reasons why the existing copyright regime is not fit for purpose and should be transformed. They're taken from my forthcoming book Defund Culture, which is being published by a non-profit, scholar-led, #openaccess publisher under a Collective Conditions for Re-Use (CC4r) license:
1) Copyright is a major driver of #inequality in the twenty-first century, playing a pivotal but often overlooked role with regard to understanding the roots of disparities of #wealth in modern societies (Bellos and Montagu).
2) Copyright overwhelmingly serves #corporate interests – those of tech monopolies, #music #labels, #publishers - while restricting access to knowledge, ideas and the cultural #commons

Update. "#DOGE order leads to journal cancellations by U.S. agricultural library"
https://www.science.org/content/article/doge-order-leads-journal-cancellations-u-s-agricultural-library"The #USDA on Friday told staff members it has canceled subscriptions carried by its National Agricultural Library as part of a drive by President Donald #Trump’s administration to cut federal spending. The move appears to drop nearly 400 of the library’s roughly 2000 journals, including many prominent in various agricultural subfields —but curiously none from the world’s three largest scientific publishers, all of which are #ForProfit. USDA staff members depicted the move as hasty, indiscriminate slashing…Studies of journal subscription fees indicate that on average, scientific #SocietyPublishers charge less than such for-profit companies."
PS: (1) Of course the best ag research should be #OpenAccess. But that's a goal, not the current reality, and while we work for that goal, policymaking agencies still need access the best research. (2) If efficiency requires budget cuts, why focus the cuts on journals from #nonprofit #publishers, which on average are lower in price and higher in quality?

The truth about copyright: even successful authors can’t live on the royalties publishers pay them
Copyright is built on a lie that most people seem to accept: artists can make a decent living from the current system of rewards that copyright provides. As Walled Culture the book (free digital versions available) explores, all the data about artist remuneration shows that isn’t true. Alongside such dry statistics, it’s good to hear about the personal experiences of creators, and I […]

4/ Historical footnote. In 2002 the UK Office of Fair Trading (#OFT) reviewed complaints about #BigDeals and other #anticompetitive practices in academic #publishing. It found market distortions but decided 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to act — because of the then-recent rise of #OpenAccess. "It is too early to assess what will be the impact of this [digital publishing & access] but there is a possibility that it will be a powerful restraint on exploiting positional advantage in the STM journals market."

How ironic. The publisher reprinting Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book" was one of the ones suing the #InternetArchive -- #Hatchette Book Group!
"Still Notorious, Radical, and Revolutionary 50 Years Later.
"A survival guide from one of the greatest creative organizers of the 20th century—now with a new foreword by co-conspirator, Lisa Fithian.
"Throughout the 1960's and 70's, Abbie Hoffman criss-crossed the country, ferreting out alternative ways of getting by in America—some illegal and all radical. Causing scandals with its advice on how to Survive!, Fight!, and Liberate! in the 'prison that is Amerika,' Steal This Book is a revolutionary's manual to running a guerilla movement, as well as getting free food, housing, transportation, medical care, and more.
"This anniversary edition gives a new generation an insider's view into the movements of the sixties and seventies. While many of the holes in the system that Abbie exposed have since been plugged, the spirit of revolution, the dedication to opposing injustice, and the passion of creative activism continue to inspire today."#Anarchists #AnarchistHistory #Publishers #Books #Corporations #Monopoly #Censorship #Copyright #History #Culture #SmallPublishers #IndependentPublishers #IA #ProgressivePublishers

I used to have a copy of Abbie Hoffman's "Steal This Book" (gifted to me by an poet activist buddy) but someone stole it from me! Appropriate!
"Steal This Book is a book written by Abbie Hoffman. Written in 1970 and published in 1971, the book exemplified the counterculture of the sixties. The book sold more than a quarter of a million copies between April and November 1971. The number of copies that were stolen is unknown.
"The book is, in the style of the counterculture, mainly focused on ways to fight against the government and against corporations in any way possible. The book is written in the form of a guide to the youth. Hoffman, a political and social activist himself, used many of his own activities as the inspiration for some of his advice in Steal This Book."

Big publishing houses often buy out small, independent publishers, just to push them (and their books) into oblivion! The #internetArchive was helping to keep those books from being lost to history!
The End of Progressive Book Publishing in the Age of Monopoly Capital?
Tom Engelhardt 09/28/2022
"After all, like Pantheon, at the moment of its demise, it was a lively, deeply progressive operation, churning out powerful new titles — until, that is, it was essentially shut down when Sara, a miraculous publisher like André, was shown the door along with her staff. Bam! What did it matter that, thanks to her, Metropolitan still occupied a space filled by no other house in mainstream publishing? Nothing obviously, not to Holt, or assumedly Macmillan, the giant American publishing conglomerate of which it was a part, or the German Holtzbrinck Publishing Group that owns Macmillan.
"How strange that we’re in a world where two such publishing houses, among the best and most politically challenging around, could find that there simply was no place for them as progressive publishers in the mainstream. André [Schiffrin], who died in 2013, responded by launching an independent publishing house, #TheNewPress, an admirable undertaking. In terms of the #DispatchBooks I still put out from time to time, I find myself in a similar world, dealing with another adventurous independent publishing outfit, #HaymarketBooks.
"Still, what an eerie mainstream we now inhabit, don’t we?
"I mean, when it comes to what capitalism is doing on this planet of ours, book publishing is distinctly small (even if increasingly mashed) potatoes. After all, we’re talking about a world where giant fossil-fuel companies with still-soaring profits are all too willing to gaslight the public while quite literally burning the place up — or perhaps I mean flooding the place out. (Don’t you wonder sometimes what the CEOs of such companies are going to tell their grandchildren?)."

I remember 21 yrs ago when the UK Office of Fair Trading (#OFT) considered #antitrust action against the big academic #publishers. It decided to hold off because this new thing called #openaccess might fix the problem.
