“What will worry #authors and #readers alike is the potential for more conglomeration, leading to greater homogenisation and an impoverished choice of local titles on offer.”

“History shows that #mergers often result in the dissolution of the smaller imprint. #Penguin no longer publishes under the #McPheeGribble imprint. …which readerships the merged version of #TextPublishing will cater to that will worry #Australian readers & supporters of #IndependentPublishing.”

2/ Penguin Random House has acquired Text. The Aussie indie publisher will reportedly maintain creative control but commentators are concerned what it means for Australian literature in the long-term.
