- **Event Description**: This session offers insight, clarity, and a grounded path forward in a rapidly evolving landscape by instructor Steve R. Porter.About this EventHow AI Is Transforming Writing & Publishing"Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the way stories are written, edited, discovered, and sold—and the implications for writers, publishers, and booksellers are profound. This seminar explores how AI tools are changing the creative process, from drafting and revision to marketing and audience targeting, while also raising important questions about originality, authorship, and ethics. Attendees will gain a clear, practical understanding of what AI can (and cannot) do, how it is already being used across the publishing ecosystem, and how to integrate these technologies into their own work without losing the human voice that readers value most. Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already experimenting, this session offers insight, clarity, and a grounded path forward in a rapidly evolving landscape."Speaker Bio:Steven R.
