Sharing again for the afternoon crowd. This was an urban-based study, but now I'm living in the countryside I'm increasingly aware of the dearth of opportunities for writers living outside metropolitan areas. Does anyone know of any work to promote networks of rural writers?
The article I co-wrote with James Annesley has been published by Creative Industries journal. In it, we discuss the North-East's literary ecology (how contemporary writing happens and is supported, basically) through the prism of @NewWritingNorth π§΅

No. It took three seconds *and* the systematic plagiarizing, without sound ethic or consent, of the labor, experience, and creativity of countless human writers. LLMs are inextricable from colonial/extractive logic, and to use them to βwriteβ is both tasteless and immoral.
The first three paragraphs of a Chat-GPT review of the Rachel Papers by Martin Amis. Quite amazing. I think you could submit writing of this standard to a magazine and get published. Took three seconds.
