PEN America cancels 2024 world voices festival amid further fallout

Less than a week after canceling its 2024 Literary Awards ceremony following months of steadily mounting criticism over the organization’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, PEN America has also canceled what would have been the 20th edition of its World Voices Festival. Both cancellations were made in the wake of a series of withdrawals from awards consideration—along with award refusals, in the case of World Voices cofounder Esther Allen—and from participation in the festival by an unprecedented number of authors.

More than a quarter of readers of YA are over the age of 28 research shows

Report commissioned by HarperCollins shows that uptake in YA fiction in older readers is due to behavioural changes described as ’emerging adulthood’ or delaying ‘adult’ life.

Young adult fiction such as The Hunger Games, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder and the Heartstopper graphic novels might be aimed at teenagers – but new research has shown that more than a quarter of readers of YA in the UK are over the age of 28.

Research commissioned by publisher HarperCollins, in collaboration with Nielsen Book, the UK book industry’s data provider, suggests that a growing number of adult readers have been reading YA fiction since 2019.

ABA files motion to intervene in FTC suit against Amazon

The American Booksellers Association has filed a motion to intervene in the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust suit against Amazon, a move that the association said supports the FTC’s case and “looks to bolster its claim that Amazon is guilty of unlawful exclusionary conduct by explicitly including the concerns of independent booksellers in the case.”

The FTC and 17 state Attorneys General (now 18 after Vermont joined) filed the antitrust suit against Amazon last September, accusing the company of building and protecting a monopoly in various ways, including: forcing independent retailers on its online marketplace not to sell for lower prices elsewhere; favoring its own branded products over those from other retailers in searches; and requiring that retailers’ products sold via Amazon Prime be handled and delivered by Amazon. The suit also said that many retailers have felt required to buy various Amazon services, including ads on its sites. In a statement at the time of the filing, the FTC called Amazon “a monopolist that uses a set of interlocking anticompetitive and unfair strategies to illegally maintain its monopoly power.”
