Thanks for featuring Susan's post at the IWSG on conferences! It was great to have a former IWSG admin back with such a cool topic.
It was a great post!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for putting these links together. I always learn from them – every time. I noticed a few here about AI, and I still haven't made up my mind where I want AI to fit in when it comes to writing. It can be a useful, tool, but the implications can be pretty scary, too. I suppose I'm in the 'tread carefully' camp.
Treading carefully sounds like a great way to handle it!
Susan's article about writing conferences was great and after experiencing Pennwriters last year, I can vouch that she does an amazing job organizing them.
