Writers benefit from reading and critiquing one another, with the right complement of personalities and experience. But how does one find a supportive critique group and maintain a practice that enriches each manuscript in the long term? Our group of writers has accomplished that, despite our various backgrounds, distinct writing styles, and even different sub-genres. In this presentation, we offer insight into actionable strategies that work for our sustainable model.

This panel explores how students and writers can engage with AI as a site of resistance, mischief, and creative refusal. Rather than framing AI as a neutral tool for revision or productivity, the discussion will focus on how writers might subvert its logic—using it to glitch, disrupt, parody, or reimagine authorship. Panelists will share their own experiences working with and against the algorithm, as well as classroom experiments that foreground human voice and creative agency, introducing AI into the writing process not as a collaborator but as a provocateur or adversary.
