Description

Book 3 in the Publish It Yourself Series, Artificially Intelligent takes authors where many fear to tread — into the world of AI and its usefulness for writing and publishing their books.

It’s a Great Time for Self-publishers

Self-publishers can benefit from using AI tools better than most. From research to writing and from publishing to marketing, AI can make you more productive and re-capture time for the main thing, writing!

Traditional publishers have committees, legal reviews, institutional inertia, and sunk investments in existing workflows. They move slowly and deliberately, like any corporate organization. You don’t have to. You can adopt a new tool this afternoon, integrate it into your process immediately, and start producing better work before a traditional publisher has finished its first editorial meeting.

Written by a publishing professional with over 30 years experience, this book co-developed this book with AI. Artificially Intelligent is a stage-by-stage playbook for integrating ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot into every part of the self-publishing process: concept development, outlining, first-draft writing, revision, book packaging, cover strategy, Amazon KDP optimization, and marketing.

features that make this guide unlike others

• Addresses the whole publishing process — not just writing but the complete self-publishing workflow, for fiction and nonfiction, from blank page to published book.
• The Master Prompt Library contains dozens of ready-to-use, stage-specific prompts. Stop wondering how to ask. Start asking.
• It was created the way it teaches. This book was co-developed with Claude and ChatGPT, then extensively revised and shaped by a human author. The workflow isn’t theoretical — it’s documented from the inside.
• It takes your fears seriously, then moves past them. Ethics, legality, voice, originality — the book addresses every concern directly, gives you what you need to make an informed decision, and gets on with the practical work.
• It’s written for non-technical people. If you can write an email, you can use these tools. No code. No jargon. No certification required.

Facilitates Your Whole Process

The self-publisher who integrates AI thoughtfully into their process can write more books, write them more efficiently, market them more effectively, and maintain a more consistent presence with their audience — all without sacrificing the qualities that make their work worth reading.

That is the promise of this book: Artificially Intelligent — Book 3 in the Publish It Yourself! Series from Touchwood Press.
