AI ISN'T THE ENEMY.
LOSING YOUR VOICE IS.
Every author I talk to lands in one of two camps on AI. Some won't touch it, afraid it will flatten their voices and turn their books into products any machine could have written. Others lean on AI so hard that their books stop sounding like them at all and end up sounding alike. Neither group is wrong to worry, and neither has to stay stuck.
AI can be a genuine writing partner, able to help you brainstorm, organize a mess of ideas, build an outline you'll actually follow, and push past the blank page on the days your brain won't cooperate. What it cannot do is write your book for you, at least not the version only you could write. Your story, your values, and your voice are yours. This workshop is where you learn to keep authenticity while you put AI to work to create a book that doesn’t burn your credibility but boosts it.
I tell my own sons, Houston and Scotty, the same thing I tell every author who walks into this room.
"The tool doesn't get to decide who you are on the page. You do."
Come learn how to hold onto your values while you write faster and with less friction.
Discover how to harness the power of AI to brainstorm, organize, and write with confidence while keeping your authentic voice at the center of every page.
