In this episode of bookcareers.com Live, we continue to look at how AI is influencing change within the publishing industry. Storywise, run by Gavin Marcus and Jeremy Esekow, uses AI to help publishers filter the slush pile and accept unsolicited manuscripts all year round.

We discuss how Storywise originated, its ongoing development and its impact within the industry. We talk about what jobs may be at risk and what the potential for employment is going forward. We also learn about Gavin and Jeremy's passion for attacking one of the industry's traditional routes to finding new talent, the slush pile.
