Adapting to Change: Publishing, AI, and the Modern Author's Journey

GlowUp with Shaman Isis

Could AI be the next great disruptor of the publishing industry? Join us in our latest Citizen Journalist episode as we sit down with Barbara Richter, a journalism and publishing trailblazer. Together, we unravel the profound shifts authors have had to navigate, particularly since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. From pivoting to virtual book launches on platforms like Zoom to the burgeoning trend of self-publishing and personal imprints, we explore how authors find innovative ways to connect with their readers. Along the way, I share my journey of publishing setbacks and career transitions, offering a personal lens on the industry's evolving landscape.
We then shift gears to tackle the pressing issue of AI's impact on creative fields. Barbara and I dive into the complexities of AI-generated art, grappling with ethical concerns and the need for fair compensation for original artists. This conversation extends to the book publishing industry, where AI is simultaneously a tool for research and a potential disruptor of lower-order tasks. We stress the importance of adaptability and continuous learning for authors to stay relevant while shedding light on the often-overlooked business side of publishing.
Finally, we unpack the intricacies of social media promotion and ghostwriting for celebrity memoirs. Barbara and I discuss effective strategies for building an authentic online presence in a crowded digital space and the increasing value of true-life personal stories in an era dominated by AI content.
