Manage episode 426583048 series 3307389
Welcome to this special edition of The Hobcast Book Show, bringing you highlights from Europe's biggest independent publishing show, SPS Live! 2024. Hundreds of authors descended on the South Bank Centre in London for this fourth edition, for two days of talks by bestselling authors and industry figures - all offering insights into the potential future for independent publishing. The two dominant themes this year were the march of AI in publishing, and the developments in the audiobook industry. Picking up on those themes, we speak to Ricardo Fayet of Reedsy, and Craig Thomson of audiobook giants W.F Howes Ltd. How big a role do they see AI playing in the future? Or will the need for human connection keep the bots at bay?
Also this week, as we proudly publish two books in his Mike Kingdom thriller series, we speak to new Hobeck Books author David Jarvis about the world he's created for his reluctant freelance ex-CIA field agent.
