At Confluence Literary Agency, we believe authorship matters. The words, ideas, and creative vision that make a book unique should come from the author, and we are committed to protecting that fundamental principle. Consistent with guidance from the Association of American Literary Agents and the Authors Guild, we do not use generative AI to:

• Edit client manuscripts

• Generate editorial feedback

• Process authors' work through consumer-facing AI platforms

We support the responsible use of research and productivity tools while maintaining a clear distinction between human-created work and AI-generated content. Just as we ask our clients to be transparent about any AI use in the development of their projects, we are committed to safeguarding their intellectual property, privacy, and creative rights throughout the publishing process. Together, we aim to preserve the trust between authors, agents, publishers, and readers that makes great publishing possible.
