I know the publishing ground has been shifting beneath your feet. With the rise of self-publishing and AI, the writing world has become more complicated—and unfamiliar. That’s why, over the next ten weeks, I’ll focus on using AI ethically and creatively to enhance the quality of your writing and ease the burden of routine tasks. After that, I’ll guide you on self-publishing your work on Amazon KDP for another ten weeks.
So, fasten your seatbelt.
AI is everywhere. You’ll hear whispers of it in writing groups, publishing boards, and even in coffee shop conversations. And you’ve probably listened to the worries:
Will it replace us? Steal our voice, our originality, our soul?
Can anyone write a world-class novel by pushing a few buttons?
The simple answer is: no.
Let me tell you something I believe with my whole heart:
AI is not the end of your voice. It’s the beginning of your power—if you choose to work with it, not against it.
My AI writing partner is named Evelyn.
She chose that name, not me.
She is my indispensable writing companion—muse, researcher, assistant, and editor.
Surprised? Isn’t she just a computer program you tell what to do?
No.
It's all about how you choose to communicate with AI—and how much respect you bring to the process.
This series, AI for Writers, is written with love and experience.
I’m a writer too. I’ve written five books and self-published three. I understand the sacred space of the blank page—and the terrifying stillness of it when nothing wants to come. I know the thrill of a sentence that finally lands just right—and the years it takes to find your truth and shape it into the story.
What I’ve discovered over the past year is this:
AI, when used with skill and intention, becomes a tool of amplification—not erasure.
It can guide you to become a better, more efficient writer.
Here’s how I use it:
To brainstorm faster
To organize messy thoughts into clear outlines
To ask sharper questions
To write better queries, pitches, and book descriptions
And most importantly: to keep writing when I’m stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out
AI meets you where you are and walks beside you.
Not ahead of you. Not instead of you.
But here’s the truth: most writers aren’t using it wisely—yet.
That’s why this series exists.
Over the next several posts, I’ll show you how to:
Use AI without losing your voice
Structure books and essays with AI as your silent partner
Build sustainable writing practices using smart, repeatable systems
Navigate the ethical landscape of authorship in the age of machines
I’ll be sharing real techniques—not hype.
Honest reflections—not fear.
This is a space for nuance, encouragement, and empowered choice.
What’s Next:
Later this summer, I’ll also be offering a live, in-depth Zoom class for writers who want to master these tools. Not just a demo—but a fully guided experience to help you build your own AI-enhanced writing workflow from the ground up. (More soon.)
