The Latest from The Hot Sheet Newsletter

by Richard Smith
Bowker | Tue Nov 30, 2021

If you’re an author and want to stay on top of the important issues in the world of publishing — issues that affect you — you need The Hot Sheet.
 
With all the chatter out there, it will help you sort through the noise with stories that focus on relevant topics from across the publishing spectrum. From author success stories to key industry statistics, you’ll find what you need to know in The Hot Sheet. Among the most important insights in this issue:
  • One of the more interesting, forward-looking publishing industry events is FutureBook, held in London and hosted by UK’s The Bookseller. This year, it was programmed in hybrid fashion, with both in-person and online attendance and a mix of in-person, recorded, and live streaming sessions.A recorded conversation with the CEO of Penguin Random House kicked off FutureBook, and the first question was (of course) about the DOJ’s case against Penguin Random House. We have highlights of his response here, along with other takeaways from the show.
  • The audiobook wars heat up. Storytel and Spotify have made significant acquisitions that give them both a meaningful presence in the US audiobook market.
  • A look at current trends in the science fiction & fantasy category on Kindle. Those of you watching the market won’t be surprised to see that romance plays a role in this category’s growth..

Here's a look at the new edition's table of contents: 

• Hot Shots
• Spotify and Storytel Make Moves into US Audiobook Market
• Penguin Random House CEO Markus Dohle Thinks PRH Will Win against DOJ
• Amazon Trend Report: Science Fiction and Fantasy
