Announcing the world’s largest survey on writers’ use of AI. Make your voice heard.

Starting today, you can participate in the “AI and the Writing Profession” survey.
This survey is a joint project of Gotham Ghostwriters and Bernoff.com. Dan Gerstein, the CEO of Gotham Ghostwriters, proposed this project to me and I enthusiastically agreed to become his partner in it. The web is filled with all manner of opinions on AI and the writing profession, but there is precious little data. We aim to fix that.
We are collecting responses from writers, editors, and other writing professionals about their use of and attitudes about artificial intelligence. This is the first comprehensive study to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on the writing profession — including journalists, copywriters, speechwriters, ghostwriters, and technical writers.
Survey participants will be entered in a drawing for 10 prizes: your choice of a signed copy of Josh Bernoff’s popular book on business writing or a $25 gift certificate from the online bookstore Bookshop.org.
The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. We will share the result publicly when the data analysis is complete, in November. As I did in our previous writer survey, I will be writing the report summarizing the result and will present the results in a free webinar when they are ready.
