CHILDREN’S BOOK BASICS
SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 2026
2:30 p.m. EST
In-Person session at the East Roswell Library, 2301 Holcomb Bridge Road, Roswell, GA 30076
Thinking about writing or publishing a children’s book? Join us for a practical session on the basics of children’s book publishing, from manuscript to finished book.
We’ll cover key topics, including writing for specific age groups, editing children’s manuscripts, working with illustrators, and navigating self-publishing and printing options. You’ll also learn how to produce a high-quality children’s picture book without overspending, one of the biggest challenges new authors face.
If you’re planning to publish a children’s book, this session will give you the essential steps to move forward with confidence.

AI FOR AUTHORS: WHAT HELPS, WHAT HURTS, AND WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS
SATURDAY, MAY 16, 2026
1:45 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
GSU Dunwoody Campus, 2101 Womack Rd, Dunwoody, GA 30338, Building NC auditorium and cafe
BookLogix is pleased to present this special session in partnership with the Atlanta Writers Club at their May meeting.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing publishing, but much of the conversation has created more confusion than clarity. Authors are hearing mixed messages, while publishers, retailers, and courts are still defining the rules in real time.
This practical, balanced session explores where AI may have limited value, where it can create real risk for authors, and how careless use can affect credibility, reader trust, retailer acceptance, and book sales. We’ll also discuss current legal developments, emerging industry standards, and practical ways writers can protect their work and publishing options.
This is not a tools demo or a pro-versus-anti AI debate. It is a clear-eyed conversation for authors who want to stay informed and make smart decisions in a rapidly changing landscape.
You’ll learn:
- The current state of AI in publishing
- Key legal and industry developments to watch
- How retailers and distributors are responding
- Common risks authors often overlook
- How to spot signs of AI-generated writing and imagery
- Practical ways to protect your work, rights, and future opportunities
