This year, the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/trade-shows-events/article/95118-sights-and-insights-from-the-2024-u-s-book-show.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">US Book Show</a> focused heavily on artificial intelligence (AI) and diversity. This show’s focus diverges from the usual conversation about hot genres or bestseller ranks. Instead, the unique panels of publishing and book industry executives discuss challenges for the sector itself.</p> <p>AI topped the list of topics. It was described as both a valuable tool for everyone from authors to marketers and a problematic elephant in the room that infringed on rights and introduced potentially serious legal and ethical issues. These include not only copyright issues but also the risk of fake celebrity endorsements, fraudulent use of well-known voices for audiobooks, and more. Still, the general consensus was that AI is here to stay, and creating a roadmap for its use and accepting parameters mattered. CEO of Ulysses Press, Keith Reiger, echoed many sentiments, saying, <em>“Somebody that is using AI that is going to take your job.”</em></p> <p>Market discussions focused on libraries and, interestingly enough, the US Millitary. CEO of OverDrive, Steve Potash, called it one of the biggest markets with over 1.7 million individuals. Another panel discussion explored how to boost diversity and accessibility in publishing. The markets exist, they are hungry, and they deserve representation.</p> <div id="attachment_555" style="width: 374px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-555" class="wp-image-555" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/US-book-show-300x300.webp" alt="US book show" width="364" height="364" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-industry-news-for-april-may-2024/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Major Book Industry News for April & May 2024" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/US-book-show-300x300.webp" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/US-book-show-300x300.webp 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/US-book-show-150x150.webp 150w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/US-book-show.webp 750w" sizes="(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px" /><p id="caption-attachment-555" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://usbookshow.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Image Source</a></p></div> <p><a name="2"></a></p> <h2>Top Editors Dismissed from Penguin Random House</h2> <p>The United State’s largest publishing house, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/20/books/booksupdate/knopf-doubleday-lisa-lucas-reagan-arthur.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Penguin Random House</a>, released two of its long-time publishers: <strong>Reagan Arthur</strong> and <strong>Lisa Lucas</strong>. They published for imprints Alfred A. Knopf and Pantheon and Schocken, respectively. This surprising move comes when big publishers are struggling with profits. The dismissal was part of the restructuring and was “necessary for future growth,” standard, corporate-speak reasons that often align with money-saving measures alone.</p> <p>These changes come in the wake of past CEO Markus Dohle resigning and US executive Madeline McIntosh following suit. Lay-offs across the board followed. This latest downsizing, unfortunately, surprised the two woman publishers but not those with an eye on Penguin Random House’s downward trend.</p> <div id="attachment_556" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-556" class="wp-image-556 size-full" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Penguin-Random-House.webp" alt="Penguin Random House" width="1024" height="683" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-industry-news-for-april-may-2024/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Major Book Industry News for April & May 2024" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Penguin-Random-House.webp" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Penguin-Random-House.webp 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Penguin-Random-House-300x200.webp 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Penguin-Random-House-768x512.webp 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-556" class="wp-caption-text"><a href="https://www.yourcentralvalley.com/news/u-s-world/ap-2-top-penguin-random-house-editors-are-leaving-amid-ongoing-changes-at-publishing-house/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Image Source</a></p></div> <p><a name="3"></a></p> <h2>Book Bans in Libraries & Illinois House Protections</h2> <p>Unfortunately, the world of bookselling and publishing is not immune to political and social upheaval across the United States. According to the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ala.org/bbooks/book-ban-data" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">American Library Association’s</a> research, public libraries face 92% more book censorship challenges today than in past years.

It grants libraries with increased security measures and boosts legal repercussions for nefarious actors who threaten them. Rep. Anne Stava-Murray sponsored the bill, passed the house, and now goes to the state senate.</p> <p>California and Washington State have similar laws protecting libraries.

This general statement does not hold true for <a href="https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/industry-news/publisher-news/article/94874-entangled-publishing-soars-into-the-empyrean.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Entangled Publishing</a>, which opened its doors in 2011. They experienced record-breaking sales in 2023, and the trend continues in the first quarter of 2024.</p> <p>Much of the current success comes from the rise of the romantasy genre. Author <a href="https://isbndb.com/author/Rebecca%20Yarros" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rebecca Yarro’s</a> superstar-level popularity with her Empyrean series books, <a href="https://isbndb.com/book/9781649374042" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fourth Wing</a> and <a href="https://isbndb.com/book/9798885799270" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Iron Flame</a><em>,</em> have only cemented Entangled Publishing’s place. Besides runaway bestsellers in their backlist of 2000+ books, they owe their success to agile and creative thinking in an ever-changing publishing industry and a continuing focus on listening to readers above all else.</p> <p>In April and May of 2024, many new books have hit the shelves amid growing contention and division in the publishing, library, school, and general access debates. Challenges with AI generated content, marketing materials, and copyright infringement continue to plague the industry. Big names struggle to profit while medium-sized presses surge with blockbuster releases. As the year heads toward the busy summer reading season at the halfway point, things promise to grow more interesting in the world of books.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-559" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing-1024x613.jpg" alt="Entangled Publishing" width="1024" height="613" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-industry-news-for-april-may-2024/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Major Book Industry News for April & May 2024" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing-1024x613.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing-300x180.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing-768x460.jpg 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Entangled-Publishing.jpg 1204w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></p> <p><a href="https://isbndb.com/isbn-database?utm_source=isbndb-blog&utm_medium=access-data-on-34-mln-books&utm_campaign=fifth-small-banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-668" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books-1024x147.png" alt="access data on 41 mln books" width="1024" height="147" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-industry-news-for-april-may-2024/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Major Book Industry News for April & May 2024" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books-1024x147.png" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books-1024x147.png 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books-300x43.png 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books-768x110.png 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/access-data-on-41-mln-books.png 1480w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p> <div class='mailmunch-forms-after-post' style='display: none !important;'></div> </div> </div> </article> </div>  <div id="authorarea" class="clearfix"> <div class="authoravatar"> <img alt='' src='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/187b1310eec1497143293a346dfa9c45?s=100&d=mm&r=g' srcset='https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/187b1310eec1497143293a346dfa9c45?s=200&d=mm&r=g 2x' class='avatar avatar-100 photo' height='100' width='100' loading='lazy' decoding='async'/> </div> <div class="authorinfo"> <h3><a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/author/val-giordano/" title="Posts by Val Giordano" rel="author">Val Giordano</a></h3> <p>Val is a freelance writer and editor with 10+ years of experience.
