It’s 2025, and authors are at war over AI. Some are embracing it, others are retreating to bunkers, and a few think it’s just another passing fad. But amid all the controversy, most authors are missing out on the AI advantage that everyone can agree on: AI can help you market your books, which gives you more time to write.
Most of us became authors because we love writing, not because we love marketing. But what if AI could handle some of the heavy lifting for you? What if you could spend less time on book promotion and more time crafting stories?
In this week’s episode, I sit down with Alexander Macris, an author, game creator, and expert in AI-powered marketing. We discuss:
The AI tools that help authors sell more books (without replacing their creativity)
How to use AI to improve book descriptions, pitches, and cover designs
The surprising way AI can analyze your data to help you serve your readers
Listen in or read the blog version to learn how you can use AI to reclaim your writing time! I’d love to hear your thoughts! Have you used AI in your marketing? Join the conversation in AuthorMedia.Social, a no-drama space where authors share their AI experiences with civility and curiosity.
