In celebration of the upcoming summer 2026 release of the 2nd Edition of Klaus Sommer Paulsen's book, Integrated Storytelling by Design, we are inviting individuals who are shaping the future of storytelling through meaningful use of new technology.

For this session, we are joined by Peter von Stackelberg, a writer with over 50 years of experience and a veteran educator in creative writing and journalism. Peter has spent decades exploring how technology can support the narrative process, culminating in the development of the StoryAnalyst tool. Together, we will explore a philosophy where AI functions as a structural lens and diagnostic partner rather than a replacement for the author.

Can you truly see your own story from the inside?
Peter's approach recognises that writers often struggle to diagnose their work while working on a living draft. This online session moves beyond the "rearview mirror" of simple automation to show how AI can help you "re-see" your narrative architecture while keeping the human creator central to the process.

What to Expect:

Peter's Writer-First Philosophy: Understand why creative freedom remains primary, using AI to reveal patterns and structural gaps while leaving the "soul of the story" and ultimate judgment in human hands.

StoryAnalyst Demonstration: Peter will lead a deep dive into a real-world story problem, showing how his tool questions the writer to improve narrative fitness rather than simply producing text.

Beyond the Generic Chatbot: Discover Peter's work on specialised storytelling knowledge bases that understand genre-specific rules across genres.

The LiveLAB Q&A: An open conversation with Klaus and Peter to tackle tough questions: How is this different from ChatGPT? Does it work for writers who aren't very structured? What must the human still bring to the table?
