Thoughtful support for writers exploring how AI can help without replacing the work that only they can do.
AI can be a useful support for writers when it is used thoughtfully. I believe in tools that help writers get to the important work of shaping, clarifying, and writing their books. That includes tools like ProWritingAid, Scrivener, and Grammarly.
What AI cannot do is replace lived experience, voice, judgment, and meaning. Those belong to the writer.
If you are deciding whether and how to use AI in your writing process, this page includes both trusted references and the tools I’ve created to support writers in practical, thoughtful ways.
