Penguin Says It Did Its Due Diligence On ‘The Salt Path’

July 9, 2025By Erin Somers

Further to Monday’s story about fraud accusations against Raynor Winn’s bestselling memoir The Salt Path, Penguin commented that they undertook “all the necessary pre-publication due diligence.” They also said they had not received “any concerns about the book’s content” before The Observer investigation. The Observer piece alleges that the book contains substantial fabrication, and omits that Winn embezzled from her employer and was involved in a fraudulent money raising scheme, among many other accusations.

Obituary: Katie Cunningham

Second Quarter Deals Set Another Record For Big Investments, Even As Overall Reports Moderate

July 8, 2025By Michael Cader

Second quarter deals declined somewhat overall (-4.7 percent), due to a big drop in reports from digital publishers, though in our core categories — nonfiction; fiction; and children’s — the totals were nearly flat. (Those categories comprise the first three bars in the chart below.) That’s similar to, or ahead of the second quarter of 2024, following a strong first quarter which featured an early London Book Fair.
