Spring 2023 reports on the book publishing industry

The Passive Voice blog recently shared two different surveys related to the publishing industry.

The headlines link directly to the original material, but we've also added links to the TPV posts so that you can read the comments there if you're so inclined.

• April US publishing numbers tell a selective story: The New Publishing Standard reminds you that monthly reports from Association of America Publishers don't factor in some key sources, including Amazon (The Passive Voice post).

• Audiobook listening trends: Voices surveyed hundreds of American audiobook listeners to learn more about why (not whether) they like the medium (The Passive Voice post).
