Feb 2025: news for emerging authors

Dear emerging authors and writers working on emerging soon-ish, 

Welcome to this somewhat weighty edition of News For Emerging Authors. Who’d have thought it would only take 2025 a couple of months to let us know that the change I warned you about last month, is very much here and making itself known? Thankfully, I have waded through some long reads from February that tell us exactly what we need to know about engaging with the publishing industry at the moment. Buckle up, there may be some bumps ahead.
