- Written by: Nicola Redhouse, Lecturer, Publishing and Editing, The University of Melbourne
The founder and chief executive of Bloomsbury Publishing, responsible for blockbuster romantasy[1] author Sarah J. Maas and literary heavyweights like George Saunders, has suggested AI[2] “will probably help creativity” – including by helping authors defeat writer’s block.
“AI gets them going and writes the first paragraph, or first chapter, and gets them back in the zone,” he said.
We asked five creative writing experts, including authors who’ve published memoirs, novels and short stories, what they think. Would they use AI to break writer’s block?
Their answers – which ranged from “a hard no” to innovative reasons for “yes” – were illuminating, complicated and often surprising.
