The AI & Writing Hub

I use AI every day on real books for real clients, so I know what it does well, what it quietly breaks, and where the worried are right. No hype and no doom.

No pitch. No pressure.

This hub is laid out in chapters, from whether AI will replace writers to how to use it on a manuscript, how to keep your own voice, and where it falls apart. When you’re ready to talk about your own book, see my ghostwriting services or start smaller with the Book Discovery Intensive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will AI replace writers?
No. It replaces generic writing, the kind nobody would miss. Books that carry a real person’s judgment, stories and voice still need a human, and readers can tell the difference within a page.
Can I use AI to write my book?
You can use it for research, organizing material and a first pass at structure. The sentences that carry your voice and your thinking should be yours, or written by a human who has interviewed you.
Will readers know AI was involved?
If the text was generated and lightly edited, usually yes. If AI handled the grunt work and a human wrote the book, no, because what readers notice is flat, generic prose.
Does Richard Lowe use AI on client books?
Yes, for transcripts, summaries and first-pass outlines. He never uses it to draft the book, and his AI policy is written into the client contract.

Want a book that uses AI well and still sounds like you?

That’s the job. I use these tools every day on real client books to work faster, never to replace the human voice that makes a book worth reading. Let’s talk about yours.

No pitch. No pressure.
