Creative writing is in a state of rapid evolution. Drawing on David Poyer's nearly half century in writing, publishing, and teaching, Writing in the Age of AI updates experienced writers and introduces beginners to the effect new digital tools will have on the mechanics and economics of writing novels, short stories, novellas, and nonfiction works such as plays and memoirs. It also answers such questions as, Where do ideas come from? How can an author plan a novel or nonfiction book? What's the best way to avoid writer's block? How does the editing process work? What sales tools will help one get published? The book covers both traditional and emergent means of writing and editing.

Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, Writing in the Age of AI is essential for anyone who wants to succeed.
