ACX is reporting higher royalties under Audible's new payment model, but important questions remain about what authors are actually earning. Meanwhile, Audible is expanding into new markets, Spotify for Authors has introduced new ways to promote audiobooks, and Spoken is expanding its AI audiobook production tools.

All that and more in the Self-Publishing News for October 15, 2026.
