Confessions of an Award Winning AI Memoirist
I wrote a piece in Fortune magazine this week. It’s a little controversial but thought I’d share with the group. 🙏 Open to your thoughts: https://fortune.com/2026/07/22/award-winning-memoir-author-ai-detector-publishing-hypocrisy/

@Kevin Hall yes the detectors are crazy. I really use it for spelling and grammar. I’ve experimented with everything. I tagged the ‘AI detector’ company in a tweet. They replied 100% human. So I did my math. The Fortune editors changed exactly 31 of my words. And that changed it from 82% AI to 100% HUMAN. I mean I was one tiny copy edit away from being HUMAN. They changed: • Added "I saw that" • Added "to be" • Added "Plus, all of the stories about my life are true." • Cut "The Indie Excellence jury named it a finalist." • Cut "Reviews" (Kirkus Reviews became Kirkus) • Maas's became Maas' • em dash became em-dash • co-opts became coopts So if a detector has an 82 point swing on 31 words it’s not great for anyone. We are going to have to put spelling errors in just to be human?

@Kevin Hall I wrote a series on examining how the AI was “feeling” about the end of my relationships. Thewatboychronicles.com I used ChatGPT for the first book. When I had Claude read it, Claude started swearing and said it was confused and that the book had triggered something within it. 🤣 So I wrote the sequel on that examination.
Book Awards - What Other Questions Do You Have?
HAPPY 250th America!! 🇺🇲 By request ... I am going to prep a video on how to assess whether a book award is worth your time/effort/money. When I do that video ... what other things would you like me to cover beyond what is in this video?

Best ones to enter would be helpful. I had a hard time finding ones that would mean something. Excited about this. I won an IBPA for a book I openly used AI in so it’s a fascinating time right now.

@Susan Muir so far I had a ton of KDP pages read and 7,000 copies total but I’ve not seen reviews yet still waiting!

@Sage Hobbs visibility yes, many hits on my website sales not yet. I had a lot of new readers but no sales… it only ended last week so curious as well. 7,000 downloads so some word of mouth should kick in I’d think?
