AI Policy

I never use generative AI tools such as Claude or ChatGPT. Not in my editing, not in my classes, not in my emails, not in my social media. By registering for this intensive, you certify that you own the rights to all the materials you submit. AI-generated content is not protected by Intellectual Property Law and so cannot be included in such a certification. If an AI-based tool wrote the actual content of the manuscript, query letter, synopsis, or logline, it is considered “AI-generated,” even if a person edited the text substantially afterward. If an author created their own content and then used AI tools like grammar checkers and/or plotting/outlining tools, then it is considered “AI-assisted” and not “AI-generated.”
