Courses

We have been working hard on getting courses on Literary Universe. We want to provide an integrated way to provide courses from authors and organizations. What we are focusing here is to be able to connect to existing works here and to coordinate learning with collaborative writing and related activities. We still have a long way to go, but we made our first steps and have the basics going.

That said this feature is now in public preview and we will start publishing some initial courses with Czech writer Jan Kotouč. You can check the courses on their dedicated courses page and stay tuned for more updates later in the year as we improve the features and open this to more people.

Events

On our Discord we will be starting a series of online (and eventually in-person) events. We will be focusing on different topic each week. We will have online event every Wednesday at 4pm CET and we are planning to continue this discussion and action through the week with in-person meetings and other events.

Our schedule for August:

• August 13th - What is the best length of a chapter?

• August 20th - Who cares?

• August 27th - Writing with AI

Project Gutenberg

We have started uploading stories from Project Gutenberg on a larger scale. That said it is a slow process as the process can’t be fully automated and requires human control to ensure quality.
