Iowa City Book Festival Event: John Warner - More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age

Join us at the Iowa City Public Library for this 2025 Iowa City Book Festival Event! John Warner will read from his newest book More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI. Bestselling author Dave Eggers praises More Than Words as "This is the book with everything you need to know about writing and AI all in one place, lucidly and passionately argued," while Austin Kleon, author of the New York Times bestseller Steal Like an Artist, says, "Oh, how I’ve been waiting for this book! With his many years of experience as a writing teacher, Warner is the perfect guide for helping us understand what AI means for writers. Now is the perfect opportunity to rethink our ideas about writing and what’s so special about being a human who works with words. I stole a ton of inspiration from this book and so will you."

John Warner is a writer, speaker, researcher, and consultant. The former editor of McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, he is the author of the books Why They Can’t Write and The Writer’s Practice. As “the Biblioracle,” Warner is a weekly columnist at the Chicago Tribune and writes the newsletter The Biblioracle Recommends. He is affiliate faculty at the College of Charleston and lives in Folly Beach, South Carolina.

Staff from Prairie Lights will be at the ICPL to sell copies of Warner's book. You can find out more about the 2025 Iowa City Book Festival at https://www.iowacityofliterature.org/icbf/.
