Two sessions down. Two to go.
Publishing is shifting fast. Artificial intelligence is changing how books are written, marketed, sold, and evaluated, whether authors use AI themselves or not, leaving many to sort through hype, fear, and conflicting advice.
This four-part summer series offers clear, practical conversations rooted in the real world of publishing, not AI tool demos or tutorials.
Whether you are traditionally publishing, self-publishing, or still writing your first book, these sessions will help you understand what is changing, make smarter decisions, and better protect your work and future as an author.
WHY AUTHORS ARE ATTENDING
- Get practical answers to questions about AI and book publishing.
- Understand potential risks to your book, rights, reputation, and publishing options.
- Make informed decisions about when AI may help, when caution matters, and where human judgment still belongs.
