Dialogic Writing with AI: Facilitating Writing's Internal Conversation

If all writing is dialogue- with writers alternating between the roles author, reader, editor, and critic- historically not all writers have had access to the high-quality dialogue that a dedicated mentor can provide. This session explores AI' s potential to democratize access to personalized and scaffolded writing support. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with an experimental AI-enhanced Virtual Writing Center, while experiencing the values of structured conversation both for developing the written work and for learning to communicate their writing needs, challenges, and aspirations.
