We’ll keep you updated with further news but in the meantime you might wish to make sure you follow all our social media handles: We just want to leverage things and lower the barrier of entry for people being able to create,” Kaplan said. While it’s not likely that generative AI can spit out awesome games anytime soon, helping game creators with tools that can help them generate better art is a big opportunity, said James Kaplan, CEO of Meetkai, one of Dai’s metaverse platform companies, in an interview with GamesBeat. If you’re a writer, should the growing sophistication of artificial intelligence worry you? Or is AI more likely to actually enhance your writing? This fascinating book charts the recent history of AI-driven ‘story machines’, probing their strengths and weaknesses, and what they can tell us about the creative writing process." I am thrilled to welcome Gatehouse Press and Lighthouse Journal into the Story Machine family. This merger creates a stronger independent publishing group based in Norwich UNESCO City of Literature. It will enable us to manage costs and create a publishing force better able to serve our authors and provide a better and easier experience for our readers.’Stories have been computer-generated for decades by a curious assortment of programmers, artists, and authors. Mike Sharples and Rafael Pérez y Pérez tell their stories, providing a rich, broad history that will interest and inform anyone interested in the future of literary art." Software that writes stories? A fascinating insight into how computers are learning to replicate the power of human imagination. Sharples and Pérez y Pérez are experts in the field of computational creativity. Their insights into language, story structure and the replication of human creativity map a journey in which computers could create future stories that change behaviours and beliefs. The ethics of how these are enabled, engaged and deployed will be a debated for years to come." Story Machine is committed to doing good. We strive to have a net positive social, environmental, and artistic impact. We are transitioning to Environmentally friendly energy and business practices, including how we print, distribute, and promote our books, and the way we source .

We have a very small number of studios using the tool today. And what we’re going to announce at GDC is both that it’s ready for deployment in a number of different use cases, and that we’re opening it up for a general private beta,” Love said. “The timing was fortunate with the zeitgeist around AI. We were working on this for some time.” In Story Machines, two pioneers of creative artificial intelligence explore the design and impact of AI story generators. The book covers three themes: language generators that compose coherent text, storyworlds with believable characters, and AI models of human storytellers. Providing examples of story machines through the ages, it covers the history, recent developments, and future implications of automated story generation. This work is needed. The last NHS Staff Survey suggested morale and health of NHS workers is plummeting. More than 1 in 3 feel burnt out because of their work, while 47.5% say they don’t look forward to going to work and 31.1% often think about leaving. This is a national crisis that effects the lives of NHS workers, but also impacts on the experience of everyone who engages with the NHS, including patients and their families. We know that NHS Staff are passionate about the NHS, and we believe that WORKING WELL will make a positive contribution to helping the NHS retain and more effectively support talented and hard working staff. Writing and movement workshops were developed by Sally-Anne Lomas and Story Machine in 2021 around publication of Lomas’s debut novel, Live Like Your Head’s On Fire, in which Pen Flowers finds ways to cope with the pressures of adolescence through physical movement and dance. When Dr Ruw Abeyratne attended a Writing and Movement workshop in 2021 she immediately recognized the benefit that this work could have for her colleagues across the NHS.With well developed characters and fast paced plot, Bradington Bay explores themes of sexuality, friendship and love, all within the expanse of a road trip.’ Developers can go to storymachine.com to join the waitlist. The official launch is expected later this year. I adored Malory Towers, The Secret Seven, The Famous Five. The Twins at St Clare’sleft me looking at my life in comparison to theirs in this posh boarding school and their picnics with constant lashings of ginger beer and big fat pies. Blyton writes an impossible-to-match picnic!

I worked for Edinburgh City of Literature Trust, and am now Manager of Literary Dundee, which sits within the University of Dundee and involves running a year-round programme, a literary festival, a book prize, and a publication. I like to think I’m trying to get people excited about books by producing events that they’ll like, by leading book groups, by trying to remove barriers. If you’ve never been then a book festival is quite an intimidating prospect. So I try to do events in bizarre venues. Or put on free food so the event is leading with the idea of food and drink and then there’s an author in addition. I attended an event with Deirdre Madden – she had edited a collection of Irish short stories called All Over Ireland and was reading bits of Colm Tóibín and Mary Morrissey. She wanted people to hear it so she could hone in on the bits she especially liked. There was a great line from the Morrissey story ‘Emergency’ where a fighter plane crashes and the parachute ‘faints’ behind the tree. Well that’s just gorgeous. That event had a flavour of close reading. It wasn’t intimidating or scary, people seemed to enjoy it. How can we ensure that the beauty in books, the thing that makes them memorable, is retained in an event? That’s a challenge I feel keenly. Powerful storytelling, unforgettable characters and a moving journey. A fantastic debut.’ 5 Star review in BookswithDanSamEndStory Machine and Gatehouse Press are delighted to announce that we have merged to create a bigger publisher able to do more to support talented new writers into print. An amazing wonderful experience!! The sound of the wind – all so atmospheric! I Loved the hut!!’ Audience member, Norwich Many companies are experimenting with AI,” said Kaplan. “But most are in the R&D stage. We’re excited to partner with Robot Invader to leverage the Story Machine platform that our customers can deploy today to bring generative 2D content to the metaverse.”
