  • ‘The censors are insatiable’ | Adam Szetela on how ‘sensitivity readers’ captured publishing

    ‘The censors are insatiable’ | Adam Szetela on how ‘sensitivity readers’ captured publishing
    Oct 8 2025
    There is more than one way to burn a book. In the modern publishing industry, books are censored, edited or scrapped entirely to avoid straying from woke dogma. ‘Sensitivity readers’ scour for words, characters and plot lines that could cause offence to minorities. ‘Morality clauses’ ensure that authors espouse the correct views in public. The result is books that are bland, predictable and utterly safe. Here, Adam Szetela – author of That Book is Dangerous! – lifts the lid on how the publishing industry itself became the enemy of literature.
