The publishing field is notoriously hard to break into. The people I know who have jobs in publishing are either unpaid slush readers or low-level editors working in presses associated with their university press, and higher level editors have been in their positions for years, even decades.

Are you looking for publishing or are you looking for writing jobs? They overlap, but writing is producing content whereas publishing is the business of getting that content out into the world (to grossly oversimplify).

I'm writing a story about a robot snail that's learning to speak. What is something cool about AI's learning a language?

That sounds HORRIFYING. It sounds like Quillbot's being floats in a digital space, receiving thoughts without sensation.

Also, why is Quillbot a "he?"
