Catch up on the best indie author news and deep dives for the week ending September 6, 2026, including crucial updates on AI and copyright.
Sunday morning brings the usual rewind for The Publishing Times readers. This edition revisits two of the week's most-read pieces.
The list opens with This Week in Self-Publishing from September 5, 2026. The weekly digest remains the easiest place to start for anyone who lost track of the news while deep in a draft.
The second pick, The DOJ Legal Brief Threatens Author Copyrights, covers the Department of Justice's September 1 statement of interest in the OpenAI copyright case and what it may mean for authors' copyright claims. The filing is advisory; the court has not ruled.
