If social media leaves you drained and you’re unsure what to do with AI, this week’s episode is for you. I recently appeared on the Writing off Social podcast to unpack how authors can step off the social treadmill and put AI to work without losing their voice.
In our conversation you’ll learn:
- What boundaries you can set around your use of AI
- Where to start using AI in your work
- My prediction for the future of nonfiction (and how to make sure you control your brand of expertise)
Listen in or read the blog version and get practical steps for using AI to increase your productivity and relieve you of the writing and publishing tasks you don’t enjoy.
