AI and the Writing Profession |
A survey from Gotham Ghostwriters and Bernoff.com
Thanks for your interest in participating in the first comprehensive study to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on the writing profession, including journalists, copywriters, speechwriters, ghostwriters, and technical writers. We are working to discover:
• How are writing professionals using (or not using) AI tools?
• How is the technology affecting their day-to-day work and livelihoods?
• How do they perceive the long-term impact of AI on their jobs and profession?
Your input will be essential to helping our industry and the industries we work with to prepare for the changes AI is creating, based on real data from writing professionals.
This survey takes approximately 15 minutes. All responses will be confidential; only aggregate or anonymous results will be published or shared. We will publish a report summarizing the results in November 2025 and make it freely available.
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.
