The morning session, running from 9:15 AM to 2:00 PM in the Mason O. Damon Auditorium (Clinton Street entrance), features presentations from industry professionals covering essential topics for writers at all levels. Featured presentations include:

When to Trust Humans Over Machines: Understanding What Editors Can Do and What AI Cannot by Jennifer Borgioli Binis of Schoolmarm Advisors
Demystifying the Publishing Landscape: Traditional, Hybrid, and Self-Publishing by H.R. Gordon of Gordon Publishing
