Who does cancelling it serve? And what do you hope to achieve when you do it? We need vibrant literary venues that spark discussion and book sales. So yes, I DID offer EM a session on SMART MACHINES, discussing AI pros and cons. You should come hear me speak. I know my shit & am funny as hell.

Every literary festival is needed. I don’t cut friends - or festivals - off when they make a mistake, withdraw the oops + apologise. Who does cancelling it serve? And what do you hope to achieve when you do it? We need vibrant literary venues that spark discussion and book sales.

I am not sure refusing to support Eden Mills is the best option for creators. We might inadvertently kill the festival, and we need more place for writers, not fewer.

I am proposing they invite people who know about AI, and authors like me who have written nf about it
