The AI-Assisted Author
How to use AI tools for writing and editing, book marketing, and making a living with your writing
Artificial Intelligence tools are increasingly used in many areas, so how can we, as authors, take advantage of AI tools for writing and marketing our books?
I've been interested in the creative and business uses of AI for several years now and in this course, I'll share the most up to date information on the possibilities for authors.
This course is for you if:
- You are techno-curious and open to the opportunities of technology
- You want an insight into AI tools without too much technical detail
- You want to use AI tools in an ethical manner and understand the problems with AI, as well as the benefits
