A series of high profile scandals involving authors has seen a rising number of publishers adding morality clauses to their contracts in order protect their investment. Concerns are already being raised about the impact this will have on artistic freedom as well as about the legitimacy of publishers policing authors’ behaviour. Author and journalist, Lionel Shriver, and Heloise Wood from The Book Publisher discuss the implications of the clauses.
