Over the last ten years, there has been an explosion of interest in both social platforms for amateur authors to share their work, and natural language processing technology to assist authors in generating and editing their creative work.

WSRT is being organized to promote further discussion and collaboration on the intersection of these topics. The workshop will include contributed presentations and a group participatory-design task.

Submission Guidelines

WSRT invites the submission of abstracts of 300 words max on original, unpublished research, either in progress or completed. Each submission will be reviewed both for quality and suitability to the theme of the workshop. Full papers based upon presentations at the workshop may be included in a proceedings, if there is sufficient interest.

Submissions should be made in plain text or PDF.

Please note that the reviewing process will not be double-blind. The authors' identity will be known to the reviewers.
