Last update: 6 hours ago

Readers and Schools: Welsh Children’s Laureate Nicola Davies is taking her “Words that Belong” project to secondary schools, leading writing workshops and giving away books. It is one of 10 projects sharing £1 million in Royal Society of Literature grants over five years. Book Fair Honors: Algeria’s 29th Algiers International Book Fair closed with awards for first books, translation and best booth, alongside tributes to literary figures. Publishing Integrity: Tamil Nadu has ordered a probe into alleged irregularities in Periyar Arivulagam library’s book purchases, amid claims involving AI-generated titles and fake authors. Bookseller Response: UK publishers and bookshops are withdrawing Russell Brand titles following his rape conviction, putting renewed attention on how the trade handles authors’ work after criminal cases.
