It was fascinating to hear perspectives from across the sector on AI and the novel - great depth and breadth of conversation. Thank you @clemicollett.bsky.social for convening a brilliant bunch of people.
We're at @jesuscollegecam.bsky.social today hosting a forum on the impact of #GenAI on the novel.

Our @braiduk.bsky.social Fellow Dr @clemicollett.bsky.social has convened authors, publishers, agents, and industry bodies to discuss copyright, creativity, and the value of books in the AI era.
