OK, Saturday morning, coffee in hand and I have already read several articles on the use of AI in publishers work, the pros and cons, the publishing issues, etc. I just finished an email from ALLi on The Detection Wars and its now stating that maybe we need to have our personal AI Position Statement prominently displayed on our website. Here is there words: "Whatever your position on AI, a clear policy tells readers, collaborators and retailers where you stand. Our free guide explains where ALLi stands and includes a sample policy to use as a starting point, in your own voice:" https://selfpublishingadvice.kit.com/ai-policy-orop26 I'm wondering your thoughts on this.

Today I noticed a new Amazon review. I went to check it out. It was from a client I did work 17 years ago. I kept her in my newsletter list. She never replies. You may only wonder who reads what you have to say...Apparently, people do and you won't know what kind of impact on someone's life you did until they decide to share it.

A community is not a platform. It’s people. Thank you for showing up, sharing what you know, and cheering each other on. You make this place worth coming back to. As a special thank you to the top 10 contributors each month, we put them in a random draw. This month Frannie Sheridan is our winner!! You have won a 30 minute call with Julie or Shane. Email [email protected] to claim your call. Thank you to you all!!
