Substack rolled out a new AI detection tool, and the backlash from writers has been swift. I also cover a proposed Copyright Office fee increase, IngramSpark’s new path into Turkey, what librarians actually want from indie books, and a major Anthropic settlement update. Plus, I’ve got a rapid-fire roundup with author resources, audiobook opportunities, and a couple of last-call promos. As per usual, all relevant links are in the show notes.
