Congratulations, @Lorea Martinez !
Kicking the hornets nest, again
It's been a while since I ignored my inner safety stops and mentioned something that usually gets a lot of attention. If AI is checking for AI, and readers must have all original writing, should we stop using editors all together, out side of spell checking if course, to make sure books and blog posts etc are 100% human and original? I have read a story that they used an AI detector in the Declaration of Independence and it shows that document to be 96% AI due to the cleanliness of writing, and all the rest. I have also heard the same for Shakespeare. I wonder what it would say about the Bible? Well, there ya have it, let me know what everyone thinks.

I understand your point. Some AI is allowed, like running a Google search. Grammarly grammar checker is okay, but not the generated wording suggestions. ChatGPT might be allowed for asking questions about research resources, but it is forbidden to use the text it generates in your manuscript without citing that you are doing so. As for AI detection software, it's terrible. I trust it even less than I trust generative AI to write engaging copy.
Question about book award
My book was just awarded a IPPY bronze award for cover design. I entered that category because I wanted my fabulous designer Domini Dragoone to get some recognition. But can I claim this as an award for my book as long as I also credit her?

Absolutely! You have assembled a team to get your book out to the public. Your project won an award for something someone on your team did. Put it on a shingle and credit Domini!

And congratulations to both you and Domini!
Thrilled to join the Lab! 🚀 From 9 years in publishing to writing my own draft.
Hey everyone! 👋 Just got approved and wanted to introduce myself to this amazing community. I’m Lawrence. I’ve spent the last 9 years deeply embedded in the self-publishing space, digital marketing, and book architecture, helping high-value creators structure and launch books that build real authority. But right now, I'm wearing the author hat myself! I’m currently deep in the trenches of writing a non-fiction book designed to help modern creators build undeniable brand authority through strategic publishing. I’m here to absorb the brilliant energy of this lab, connect with fellow action-takers, and add value to anyone mapping out their chapters or KDP strategy. Drop a comment below and let’s connect—what is the core hook of the book you're currently working on? Let's win together! 📈

For Once in My Life: The Authorized Biography of Arlinda Willis will be released on August 27, 2026. Enduring a medical system that devalues Black women's pain, a cancer diagnosis strips away Arlinda's independence and her carefully constructed image of strength. Left with nothing, she must finally prove she is lovable without the performance.

@Lawrence Drexel, Jr. Thank you for your kind words. I tried querying for two years and was getting nowhere. Beta readers and editors told me I would have no problem querying it and getting picked up by a publisher. August 27 will be what would have been Arlinda's 75th birthday, so I am author publishing it to get it out on her birthday. I have it on NetGalley so Kirkus, Clarion, and Blue Ink can review it. I am writing podcasters and influencers to connect Arlinda's story with their audience. I'm waiting for a few good review quotes to put on the back cover and I'm done with the design.
🚀 Launch Day Spotlight: Momentum by Design by Chris Atwell
Please join us in celebrating Book Launchers author, Chris Atwell, on the launch of his new book, Momentum by Design: A Leadership Blueprint for Rep Owners Who Want Clarity and Scalable Growth! Chris’s book is written for manufacturers’ rep agency owners who are tired of carrying every decision, every fire, and every next step on their own shoulders. It offers a practical leadership system for creating more clarity, stronger accountability, and scalable growth without burning out in the process. Even if you’re not a rep agency owner, I think so many authors and business owners can relate to this question: What is one thing in your work, business, or creative life that you’d love to stop carrying alone? Drop your answer below and help us celebrate Chris’s launch day! 🎉
