AI and WritingAuthority experts watch peers crank out AI books in weeks and panic that the fast competitor will grab the speaking gigs and consulting deals first. But speed-to-market was never the moat in authority publishing. Here is what actually wins, why…
AI WritingThe connective sections of a book, chapter introductions, scene transitions, the setup paragraphs that move a reader from one idea to the next, are the natural zone for AI drafting: no specific voice, predictable structure, and real writer hours when…
AI WritingThe hardest part of a book is not the writing; it is getting the raw material out of your head and onto the page in a form a writer can use. AI is surprisingly good at this when used right,…
AI WritingAn AI-assisted book through my practice runs at roughly half the per-word cost of full ghostwriting, and the savings are real, not a gimmick, because they come from automating a specific slice of the labor that never touches voice. Here…
AI vs Human GhostwritingAI on a book is not use it or don't; it is a labor split, specific tasks the machine handles well under supervision, and specific tasks a human handles every time. The line is not arbitrary, it tracks whether the…
AI vs Human GhostwritingMy entire AI-on-a-book practice runs on one sentence: AI never writes in your voice. It can do nearly everything else, and most of it well, but the voice belongs to a human every single time. That is not a compromise…
AI and Your CareerMost AI fear is misplaced, but not all of it, and pretending otherwise is how you lose people's trust. Some worries are correct: commodity content, nobody checking the machine, letting it write the voice, publishing without verifying. Name where the…
AI AdoptionI'm behind on AI and it feels too late assumes the window closed. It did not. AI moves fast, but the skill that matters is not memorizing this month's tool, it is the judgment to use any tool well, and…
AI WritingWill AI make me sound like everyone else? This is the most accurate fear of the lot. AI is trained on the average, so it hands you the average, and a book that sounds average sounds like everyone. You cannot…
AI vs Human GhostwritingThe fear of getting caught using AI has it backwards. Readers do not scan your pages for machine fingerprints; they feel the hollowness, lose interest, and only then go looking for a reason to blame. The emptiness comes first; AI…
AI vs Human GhostwritingAI can produce a manuscript. It cannot produce your book, because it writes the average of everything ever said on your subject, and a book worth your name is the opposite of average. It will not replace a real ghostwriter,…
AI and Your CareerThe replacement worry is legitimate, and both marketing answers are useless: you will not be replaced, you will be enhanced is comforting and partly wrong, while everything will be automated is dramatic and also partly wrong. The honest answer is…
