Audible’s Trash Royalty Model Will Screw Authors | Self-Publishing News (Aug. 18, 2025)

In this week’s self-publishing news, we cover Audible’s controversial new royalty system that leaves authors earning pennies on the dollar, Amazon’s broken AI book summaries, and a major class action lawsuit against Anthropic over pirated training data. We also spotlight new free author courses from CraveBooks, sales from ProWritingAid and MailerLite, and ALLi’s latest contest for indie writers. Plus, Author Nation 2025 is coming fast with sessions from James Patterson, Andrew Davis, and more. Stay informed on the biggest changes shaping the future of publishing, and make sure you don’t get left behind. ** TO BE VERY CLEAR, THE AUDIBLE ROYALTY STRUCTURE IS STILL IN BETA AND NOT OFFICIALLY ROLLED OUT TO ALL AUTHORS. ** 🔴 Subscribe to The Self-Publishing Hub - https://TheSelfPublishingHub.com 🟡 Subscribe to my email newsletter - https://DaleLinks.com/SignUp 🟣 Join Channel Memberships - https://DaleLinks.com/Memberships 🔵Join Me on Discord - https://DaleLinks.com/Discord 🔥 Check out my main YouTube channel -    / @dalelroberts   📚 My Books - https://DaleLinks.com/MyBooks 😇 Wanna tip me?
