Episode notes

The chapter explores the utilization of AI tools in book writing to accelerate the process and leverage subject matter experts who lack writing skills. By using AI transcription and editing tools, detailed outlines for books can be created prompting individuals to provide specific content, ultimately producing a book without the direct involvement of a traditional ghostwriter. The speaker discusses the benefits of AI in making book writing more accessible to individuals and emphasizes the potential for AI to leverage more people's expertise in creating user-friendly content.

Described by David Perell as “like Rick Rubin for writing,” Ellen Fishbein is an author and writing coach and the founder of Altamira Studio, an independent publisher specializing in short-form books. She joins the show to discuss how traditional publishing disrespects intelligent readers, her advice for aspiring authors, what she’s learned from Shakespeare’s sonnets, and MUCH more!
