JUNE Writers Panel


In-person monthly gathering. Come experience our new panel discussions and member-to-member knowledge sharing! 

BETRAYED BY AI: Cons, Clones and Crooks


Description:

If that email about your book from an agent, producer, or editor sounds too good to be true, it probably is. In the age of AI, cons are getting slicker, faster, and far more convincing. From too-good-to-be-true film deals to emails that mimic your voice (or your agent’s), today’s nogoodniks are armed with technology that can flatter you, fool you, and fleece you.

In this straight-talking panel, we’ll expose the most common scams targeting writers, how AI is supercharging the grift, and the red flags you need to spot before your big “break” breaks you.

Panelists: Kristina Hoffman, screenwriter, and Carlotta Rinke (novelist). Moderator: Eduardo Santiago.

The meeting begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends at noon. 

This event is free for all members. Registration not necessary.

We may take photos and/or videos at any of our events for promotional purposes. Ready to become a member of the Palm Springs Writers Guild? Please click here.
