Name: The Writer and the Machine: Collaborating with AI
Date: July 12, 2026
Time: 2:30 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Event Description:
AI won’t take your job. But someone who knows how to prompt it will.
 
In her book, The Writer and the Machine, Jaime Engle shows novelists, screenwriters, and entrepreneurs how to stay relevant and in demand by collaborating with AI—without losing their voice. Instead of fearing the future, she teaches how to prompt AI with a story-first strategy to build intellectual property (IP) that sells.
 
With her proven creative framework, you’ll learn to write faster, pitch smarter, and build IP that lasts—just like thousands of other creatives she has helped.
 
Jaimie Engle created the Engleverse stories in books, film, and TV. She wrote, sold, and produced Just Jake (2023), sold and developed a story with DreamWorks Animation Studios (2025), and was hired to write an audiobook for Fresh Produce Media (2025).
 
She founded Chapter Drops™ to help people with stories write and publish books, offering a Pitch Drop service that connects authors with producers. She has written and published 25+ books, earning awards such as Kirkus Choice Book of the Year (2020), Publisher’s Book Life Prize (Fiction and Non-Fiction 2020), and the Writers of the Future Award (2016).
