Tar éis faillí le blianta fada, tá athruithe suntasacha á gcur i bhfeidhm ar thionscal na leabhar Gaeilge.  Ach an bhfuil na hiarrachtaí seo ró-mhall agus tionscal na leabhar tré chéile faoi bhrú?  Pléann scríbhneoirí, foilsitheoirí agus feidhmeannaigh na hearnála na mór-cheisteanna le Cormac Ó hEadhra.  Orthu siúd a bheidh le cloisteáil sa chlár, beidh Deirdre Ní Thuathail ó Chló Iar-Chonnacht, Pádraig Ó Snodaigh ó Choiscéim, Caoilfhionn Nic Pháidín ó Chois Life, agus na scríbhneoirí Anna Heussaff, Darach Ó Scolaí agus Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin.

There have been difficulties in the Irish-language publishing industry for many years, but substantial changes have now been put in place to improve marketing and distribution in particular.  Have these changes come too late for an industry already under significant strain?  Cormac Ó hEadhra discusses the major issued in the industry with writers, publishers, and other industry players in this documentary.  Those interviewed include Deirdre Ní Thuathail from Cló Iar-Chonnacht, Pádraig Ó Snodaigh from Coiscéim, Caoilfhionn Nic Pháidín from Cois Life, and writers Anna Heussaff, Darach Ó Scolaí and Tadhg Mac Dhonnagáin.
