Publishing: Authors organize after the departure of Grasset's CEO

The departure of Grasset's CEO, Olivier Nora, has sparked a strong reaction in the publishing world, where dozens of authors are preparing a class-action lawsuit. This mobilization, which could bring together around a hundred writers, aims to respond to a decision perceived by some as a turning point for the publishing house.

Several authors have expressed concern about this change in direction, raising the risk of a shift in editorial policy. Some see it as the influence of the owning group and fear a challenge to the diversity of publications within the catalogue.

A mobilization is currently being organized.

Writers published by Grasset, including some well-known figures, are participating in this collective initiative, the details of which are still being finalized. Meanwhile, several authors have publicly expressed their support for Olivier Nora and their disagreement with his departure.

This follows a dispute over the publication of a forthcoming book. This situation is fueling tensions within the publishing house, while the mobilization of authors could materialize quickly.
