Justice Delayed
In a move that has puzzled publishing industry groups involved in the case, the court has postponed approval of the proposed $1.5 billion settlement between Anthropic and rightsholders whose books the AI company pirated, saying that the case should not proceed until attorneys more clearly work out the details of how the money will be distributed. The weeklong rollout of the National Book Awards longlists begins today with the nominees for Young People’s Literature. Skyhorse editorial director Mark Gompertz will retire at the end of this month, and the Brooklyn Book Festival is gearing up for its 20th edition in just a couple of weeks. With fall regional season officially kicking off, we took a look at the bevy of upcoming regional bookselling conferences and handpicked some programming highlights for booksellers. High school seniors’ reading scores have hit a three-decade low, reports the New York Times. A Warsaw train station has opened an “express” onsite library to encourage commuters to swap out their phones for books, per the Guardian. Dwayne Johnson will star in Benny Safdie’s film adaptation of Daniel Pinkwater’s 1976 children’s book Lizard Music, according to Deadline. Libraries in Kansas City, Mo., are allowing patrons to pay off their fines with donations to local food pantries for one week, per KCTV 5. For the New York Times, children’s author Katherine Rundell considers how Hamlet can speak to young readers. And over at Lit Hub, Joanne Harris reflects on writing a sequel to Chocolat some 25 years after the novel’s publication.
Expressing various concerns about parts of the $1.5 billion agreement, Judge William Alsup postponed giving preliminary approval to the settlement until September 25. In the interim, Alsup said he wants answers to a number of questions, including the role of the Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers in the case. more »

In what attorneys are calling one of the largest copyright recovery settlements in U.S. history, Anthropic has agreed to pay out $1.5 billion to rightsholders whose titles the AI company pirated to train its large language model, with a hearing for preliminary court approval set for today. Apple could soon be the next tech company to be put on trial for copyright infringement after authors Grady Hendrix and Jennifer Roberson filed a proposed class-action lawsuit on Friday, also accusing it of piracy in its AI training. The National Book Festival, held on Saturday in Washington, D.C., went off without a hitch despite a nearby protest against the National Guard’s presence in the capital and the Trump administration’s ongoing assault on the Library of Congress. Students in Louisville, Ky., are checking out library books at record rates after their public school district instituted a cellphone ban, reports Wave News. Patreon has revamped its newsletter functionality in an attempt to woo popular writers away from Substack, per Adweek. New York magazine questions whether media outlets even want to publish cultural criticism anymore amid an ever-shrinking market for the genre. For Lit Hub, Viking veteran Paul Slovak rounds up some of the imprint’s most surprising titles on the eve of its centenary. Over at the New Yorker, Carmen Maria Machado revisits Jacqueline Harpman’s I Who Have Never Known Men, the 1995 dystopian novel that’s gotten a second life on BookTok. The Nation sits down with Rebecca Solnit to talk writing and reading in an anti-book political moment. And BookPage founder Michael Alan Zibart has died at 78.
Authors and publishers hope the agreement will send a signal to AI companies to respect copyright and to pay for the use of copyrighted materials in training their large language models. Some 500,000 works are covered by the settlement, with each work eligible to receive about $3,000. more »

Capitol Letters
The military presence in Washington, D.C., ordered by President Trump last month is proving a challenge for indie bookstores, some of whom report a decline in sales as would-be customers avoid the city. ElevenLabs has launched ElevenReader, a direct sales platform for AI-generated audiobooks that will pay authors at 60% royalty rate. Heather Fain has been named publishing director at Knopf Doubleday’s Vintage trade paperback imprint, and Roxane Gay will be honored with the 2025 Literarian Award at this year’s National Book Awards. Gardners, one of the U.K.’s largest book distributors, is sticking additional charges on U.S.-bound shipments, citing financial uncertainty amid President Trump’s heavy tariffs, reports the Bookseller. Holiday spending this year is projected to fall 5.3% compared to 2024, per Reuters, which would be the steepest drop since the pandemic. For Lit Hub, audiobook narrator Adam Verner diagnoses the uncanny quality of AI narration. Meanwhile, NBC News gets to know the growing contingent of freelancers being hired to make AI slop look and sound less sloppy. The Albertan government in Canada has called off a proposed book banning measure after Margaret Atwood, whose The Handmaid’s Tale was among those to be censored, mocked the proposal on X, Deadline reports. And the American Scholar recounts On the Road’s tortuous path to publication.

Power Plays
This week, Barnes & Noble filed to purchase Books Inc., the oldest indie bookstore in the western U.S., which declared bankruptcy earlier this year. In Washington, D.C., indie bookstores have been fighting a different battle, as the Trump administration’s militarization of the city is driving away would-be customers. FSG Books for Young Readers has named its next editorial director, Nancy Conescu, who was most recently publisher at Australia’s Berbay Books. Wiley reported $29 million in AI licensing revenue in Q1 thanks to its collaborations with Anthropic and other tech companies. And longtime Consortium president Julie Schaper announced plans to retire next year.
