Tell Your Story to Beat the Bots: A Writer’s Guide to Thriving and Surviving in the Age of AI

You have a story to tell, an important story, your story. Getting that story down on paper is hard, though, and with ChatGPT and other bots taking over the writing market, authors worry they’ll soon become irrelevant. The answer isn’t to surrender to the doom and gloom predictions. On the contrary, it’s time to lean into your humanity, to do what artificial intelligence can’t—to be creative. AI is, by definition, derivative, so the trick is to come up with new ideas, new structures, new approaches. This workshop shows you how to harness your innate creativity using science-based creativity-boosting techniques to help you come up with fresh ideas. Highly interactive, with hands-on writing exercises and illuminating debriefings, you’ll discover how to bring your creativity, your individuality, and your judgment to your work. And that’s how you’ll out-write a chatbot all day long.
