Publishing has always had its share of gatekeeping, but the landscape has never looked quite like this. AI is reshaping how stories are written, sold, and evaluated; hybrid publishers are dangling legitimacy at prices that should give any writer pause; and bots, scams, and social media fraudsters are multiplying faster than anyone can track. In this candid panel, agents and authors cut through the noise — what's real, what's predatory, and how to tell the difference. Come with questions. Leave with your wallet intact.
