How To Write And Publish A Book Using AI (Step by Step)
Thu Jan 29 2026
Have you always wanted to write a book, but felt overwhelmed by the process?
In this episode, I break down exactly how I wrote and published a business book in six weeks using AI, step by step. Not by letting AI “write the book for me”, but by using AI in three very specific roles that make the process faster, clearer, and far less intimidating.
I show you how to use AI as:
A book coach – to help you plan, structure, and clarify what your book is really about
A ghostwriter – to interview you, extract your ideas and stories, and turn them into a first draft in your own voice
An editor – to critique, refine, and improve the writing without losing authenticity
This approach keeps you in control of the ideas, while AI does the heavy lifting around structure, momentum, and polish.
You will learn:
How to plan a non-fiction book using AI as a thinking partner
How to train AI to write in your tone of voice
How to use AI interviews to turn spoken ideas into written chapters
How to use one AI model to assess the work of a different one and improve it
How to format a book for print and ebook
How to self-publish a book on Amazon using KDP
How to turn a book into a credibility and authority asset
I also share the real workflow I used, the mistakes I made, and what surprised me along the way. Writing a book no longer needs to take years, or feel like an impossible project.
If you are a founder, consultant, marketer, or business owner who has always thought “one day I’ll write a book”, this video is designed to show you a practical way to finally make that happen.
