Taylor & Francis Issues Expanded AI Guidance for Authors, Editors - Publishers Weekly

It's interesting reading the full statement.

Panzer found an interesting press release at the Publishers Weekly site today.

The press release includes a link to the full AI Policy statement. The statement is long and goes into details about the Policy statement expansion.

The press release is very short so you won't need to bring anything to snack on while you read. (This is actually longer than the press release.) If you follow the link to read the full AI Policy statement, you'll need to decide what to bring to snack on.

Hachette to bring in new royalty statement system in 2018 - The Bookseller

Is it really that bad?

Today when Panzer was cleaning out the Panzermobile our fastidious kitty happened to look under the passenger seat and found a post from last week at The Bookseller site. The post is about Hachette's plans for a new royalty reporting statement system.

According to the post by Katherine Cowdrey, Hachette CEO Tim Hely Hutchinson sent his annual letter to all the company's authors. In the letter Mr. Hely Hutchinson says the company will begin issuing new author royalty statements. He says the new statements will be "better, clearer and more detailed." The post also details the declines in Hachette's book and ebook sales and the possible effect Brexit may have on book sales.

Panzer says, "Mr. Hely Hutchinson's letter doesn't paint a very good picture of ebook and book sales."
