THE INKLINGS COLLECTIVE & SILENT AUCTION
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2026 | 12:00–4:00 p.m.
The Mill on Etowah | 225 Reformation Pkwy, Canton, GA 30114 | IN-PERSON ONLY
Calling writers, authors, artists, and creatives!
BookLogix will join Inklings Creative Expressions for its fall Collective & Silent Auction, featuring local writers, artists, speakers, and opportunities to connect with North Georgia’s creative community.
AI for Authors: What Helps, What Hurts, and What Actually Matters
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing publishing, but much of the conversation has created more confusion than clarity. Jessica will lead a practical, balanced discussion on AI in publishing, including where it may have limited value, where it can create real risks for authors, and how careless use can affect reader trust, retailer acceptance, book sales, rights, and future publishing opportunities.
This is not an AI tools demo or a pro-versus-anti-AI debate. It is a clear-eyed conversation for authors who want to understand current legal and industry developments, how retailers and distributors are responding, and practical ways to protect their work and publishing options.
The event will also feature a silent art auction benefiting a local nonprofit, and Inklings is seeking art donations in any medium. Writers and artists interested in attending or participating are welcome.
Interested in participating or donating artwork? Contact organizer Robin Adams at rahzwriter43@gmail.com or 770-265-1270. If calling, please leave a message, and Robin will return your call.

THE BLIND SPOT IN YOUR MANUSCRIPT: DEVELOPMENTAL BOOK EDITING FOR WRITERS
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2026 | 11-12 P.M.
Sharon Forks Library | 2820 Old Atlanta Road, Cumming, GA 30041 | IN-PERSON ONLY
Got plot holes, pacing problems, or a manuscript that isn’t quite working?
Every writer has a blind spot: a big-picture problem hiding in plain sight because you’re too close to the manuscript to see it clearly. BookLogix’s Jessica Parker will show writers how to spot plot holes, weak structure, pacing problems, and other issues in their own drafts, what developmental editing looks for, and how to turn editorial feedback into a clear revision plan.
