With daily reminders that AI is out to take everyone’s jobs, it’s important to keep in mind that there are indeed ways to survive, and even thrive, as AI becomes a part of daily existence. This is especially so with writing.
On Saturday, Aug. 23, Fremont Area Writers (FAW) will host a Zoom presentation by award-winning author, teacher and speaker, Jane K. Cleland. She will share coping techniques from her new book, BEAT THE BOTS: A Writer’s Guide to Surviving and Thriving in the Age of AI. Given the pervasiveness of AI, everyone, whether writer or not, can benefit from this presentation.
Cleland will explain how to apply creativity, individuality and judgment to writing in ways that will beat the bots every day of the week. Writers need to “lean into our humanity.” In humanity, they’ll find the difference between BOT-written work and the creative power that lives in everyone.
Jane K. Cleland’s fiction includes the long-running Josie Prescott Antiques Mystery series, which has recently been optioned for film/TV. Her nonfiction includes the Agatha Award-winning bestsellers, Mastering Suspense, Structure & Plot and Mastering Plot Twists. She’s a contributing editor at Writer’s Digest Magazine and the chair of the Black Orchid Novella Award (BONA). More details are available at janecleland.com.
