Matt Strain, BAIPA’s guest speaker on 8/5/23, is inviting BAIPA members to join him at his upcoming workshop and explore how Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is transforming the writing world… the fears, the fascination, or a mixture of both.
The Ways A.I. is Revolutionizing the Writing Process
Sunday, October 15, 2023 LIVE
5:00 p.m. pacific / 8:00 p.m. eastern
This hands-on workshop will focus on what A.I. means for writers and will cover the creative tools that will unleash your story, as well as those that will aid research and proofreading. We’ll talk about the coming changes to the publishing industry and the deeper humanistic considerations of what it means to integrate A.I. into the creation process.
In our time together, we’ll address:
[1] AI’s Current Technologies: Understand what these AI technologies are and how they augment human capacity.[2] AI & Writing: Discover how A.I. enriches the writing process, aiding in everything from brainstorming to drafting and editing.[3] AI & Publishing: Learn how A.I. is democratizing tasks traditionally held by publishers, from design to distribution.[4] AI’s Legal & Ethical Consequences: Navigate the intricate landscape of intellectual property and ethics in an A.I.-driven world.[5] AI’s Broader Considerations: Explore the transformative impact of A.I. on human creativity and delve into the humanistic considerations of being a writer in a world with A.I. – Matt Strain

One of my favorite things about BAIPA is its culture of generosity, the willingness — even eagerness — to share what we have each learned in the process of bringing stories to life. We provide educational programs, networking, marketing opportunities, encouragement, and information on industry vendors and services. And lots of one-on-one advice and mentoring.
We welcome all who have an interest in making connections within the world of independent publishing and learning more about how to publish and sell their work successfully. Together we are raising the standard of independent publishing and helping our members thrive.
Do join us!
