What happens when an AI-generated book appears under your author name and readers think you wrote it?

In this episode, we explore the growing problem of AI-generated books, author impersonation, intellectual property, and protecting your author brand. We’ll also discuss what happens when readers can’t tell what’s authentic and why human authorship may become more valuable as generative AI changes publishing.

Before we jump in: CJ and I are live on YouTube every Tuesday morning at 11am Eastern teaching the Kingdom Writers Workshop, where we're learning to partner with God in our writing instead of doing it on our own.

Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwriters

How many years have you been carrying this book? Four? Twelve? Twenty-five? Somewhere along the way you may have started reading the delay as the answer, and decided it was too late to write your Christian book.

It isn't. CJ and Shelley walk through five reasons the years behind you are not a verdict on the book in front of you.

Delay is not a verdict. Joseph got the dream and then got the prison. Moses was 80 when the assignment came. Time passing tells you that time passed, and nothing more than that.

There are three different versions of "too late," and they need three different answers: I'm too old, the moment passed, and I wasted the time. Naming which one you are carrying is what lets you set it down.

Shelley also shares her mom's story. She started a book, walked through a multiple myeloma diagnosis, and the book she finished years later held a story she could not have written before.

And the restart is smaller than you think. Not a new outline. Open the file, read the last page you wrote, and write one paragraph forward.
