News Podcast: Self-Publishing Partnership Stops Trading; Anthropic Watermarks Claude’s AI Text

On this week's Self-Publishing News podcast, ALLi News Editor Dan Holloway reports on the collapse of Self-Publishing Partnership, a UK-based service provider that ceased trading at the end of June, leaving authors waiting on royalties and raising questions about why no administrators were brought in. The Society of Authors has launched a campaign to help affected members recover what they're owed. Then Dan turns to Anthropic's announcement that it will watermark all text generated by Claude — a move driven in part by the EU's AI Act, and one that could eventually help platforms like Amazon identify AI-generated books.

News Summary: Self-Publishing Partnership Collapse Leaves Authors Waiting for Royalties

As indie authors, we might not depend on publishers for our paperwork, but we can be very dependent upon the platforms we use to publish, distribute, and then pay us for our books. And when those platforms run into trouble, it can create a real headache. The most recent time this happened was with the slow-motion car crash that brought Unbound to a halt. Thanks to The Bookseller for drawing my attention to the latest and providing some hope for those affected by it.
