AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

New Zealand Book Campaign: Bookshops and libraries will join forces from Nov. 1 to spotlight one homegrown title each month, using free promotional materials, advertising and book-club guides to help readers find local books. Copyright & AI: Publishers are urging a US court to reject OpenAI’s fair-use defense, while a new survey reports more illustrators losing work to generative AI. The UK budget pledged £15 million for children’s books but left AI copyright unresolved. Bookselling: UK bookshops say business-rates reforms offer only limited relief. Literary Rights: ICA is bringing book rights in-house with a new appointment and has also recruited an agent.

Note: AI summary from news headlines; neutral sources weighted more to help reduce bias in the result. Feedback is welcome. Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions about the AGP Executive Report.
