The effect of no-deal Brexit on independent publishers - The Boar

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere when the Panzermobile was shaken side to side by yelling and hissing coming from outside. Following all the hullabaloo took our traveling kitty boy to The Boar site. In case you didn't know, The Boar is the student newspaper of the University of Warwick. With a little digging in the posts there, Panzer found one about Brexit and independent publishers.

According to the post by Charlotte Anne Creamore, UK independent publishers are afraid an exit from the EU without a deal will force .many of them to close. These closures could leave as many as 70,000 workers in the publishing industry unemployed. There's also some uncertainty about whether authors will look for publishers outside the UK.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... This Brexit thingy gives this little kitty a headache."
Sometimes you just need to ignore things.

Note: This is a long-medium post. Bring a cup of tea and two muffins for today's reading selection.
