AGP Executive Report

Last update: 27 minutes ago

AI and Copyright: Publishers are pressing for a copyright body to challenge AI firms’ use of books without permission or payment. South Korea’s Kyobo rejected a suspicious 100,000-book order amid fears of AI training, while reports say Google is seeking Korean book deals as lawmakers debate protections. Publishing Deals: Choc Lit has signed Cara Heart’s Hockey Hearts series in a five-book deal, a bright spot for commercial fiction. War’s Toll: Ukraine’s culture minister says Russian attacks destroyed 13 million books this summer; the government is preparing support for publishers and bookstores. Access to Authors: Sally Rooney’s books have been withdrawn from UK sale amid concerns over legal consequences linked to her support for Palestine Action. Graphic Novel Sales: September’s Circana chart puts The Long-Lived King, based on The Owl House, at No. 1 among adult graphic novels, ahead of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Absolute Batman.
