On this episode of the Self-Publishing News Podcast, Dan Holloway reports on Libby’s new Inspire Me discovery tool, which promises to boost book discoverability but has raised concerns among librarians. He covers Threads’ rollout of long-form text, giving authors new ways to share excerpts and engage with readers.
