Studio GLUE discusses the impact of AI in book publishing for Future of Skills podcast

1–2 minutes

On 8 December 2023, Studio GLUE gave a talk about book writing and authenticity for the Future Of Skills podcast, hosted by Nadya Tatarciuc Birca, Founder, STEPP Digital. The video podcast was recorded at Level39, One Canada Square at Canary Wharf, London, UK.

Salina Christmas, co-founder and also author of The Constant Companion Tales, discussed topics relating to the two novels designed and published by the studio’s imprint, The Keeper Of My Kin and A Request For Betrayal:

  • Be original: storytelling and the author in the age of AI.
  • A reader of situation: Building resilience as an author.
  • The logic in magic: Anthropology for research on magic rituals.
  • Truthful fiction: Journalism is objective. Fiction is subjective.
  • It’s too late: The parallel of horror to climate change and conflict.

The author credited the ideas behind the talk to Zarina Holmes, Founder, Studio GLUE, for her developmental edits and creative direction of the horror series; the National Union of Journalists UK for its support of writers’ copyright; the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham for their advice on book publishing, and Roger Spitz, Founder, Techistential, for the idea of “anticipatory governance”.
