Brag Better, Claim Your Voice, Visibility and Expertise

About this event

**This event will be online only** Artificial intelligence can generate words, but that is different from writing. Using these tools properly can help you - but improper or uncollaborative use can destroy your credibility or lead to legal trouble. Publishing, like many industries, is working to address issues of plagiarism or flattening of voice. Crossing the wrong line can mean being dismissed before you ever get in the room. In this candid, strategic talk, best-selling author and publishing expert Meredith Fineman breaks down what it takes to develop a distinct voice in a sea of sameness—and why that voice is now your greatest advantage. She also addresses the AI experts and other writing experts, where they predict AI and writing is going, as well as how to write in this new environment. Drawing on her work developing Big Five-ready nonfiction proposals and advising high-level clients, Fineman covers: Why AI is flooding the market with content—and raising the bar for originality Where the line is between using AI as a tool and undermining your authority What publishers, agents, and editors are actually flagging right now How to find and articulate a voice that is specific, defensible, and recognizably yours How to use the Brag Better framework to talk about your work in a way that reflects real substance—not polish Click here to register.
