Print books continue to experience robust sales but how is the publishing industry changing and what are the challenges in the future?

Despite the doomsayers, the print book continues to experience robust sales alongside the eBook and audiobook. But exactly how is the publishing industry changing and what are the challenges in the future? Can authors make any money from print editions? Is the book the end product or is the book just there to sell the end product?

Oxford Technology & Media are delighted to welcome Professor Angus Phillips and Craig Taylor to lead an in depth discussion covering the dynamics of the industry, its links with other media, and the arrival of AI created narratives.
