There’s a growing divide in the writing world right now. On one side, you have authors excited about experimenting with AI. On the other, you have traditional writers who want nothing to do with it. The conversations can get heated fast, and often it feels like there’s no middle ground.
I wanted to know if there was room for compromise. Could AI help with speed while I protected the heart of the story? Could it serve as a tool instead of a replacement?

Inkitt allows authors to publish stories for free on their site, and if your story connects, it can get picked up by Galatea—Inkitt’s reader app with a much wider (and more mobile-first) audience. Galatea adapts stories into serialized episodes with sound effects, pacing adjustments, and artwork, then promotes them on the app. That’s what happened with my short story, and it’s still wild to see it playing out on a professional platform like that.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably spent more hours than you’d like to admit staring at website templates, trying to figure out what to write in your bio, or what exactly should go on your homepage.
Recently, I discovered Tertulia, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the easiest platform I’ve ever used to set up an author website.

Being an indie author comes with its pros and cons. For me, I enjoy having control over the process from start to finish. One of the disadvantages of self-publishing is you do not own your customer list when people buy your book from Amazon or another online retailer.
That means you and your book are at the mercy of the retailer to market to potential readers. The ‘zon is not going to hand over their customer list to you. You have to build your own list, and BookFunnel can help.
