AI for Writers Who'd Rather Keep Writing

Hand the ordinary half of your writing to the machine — without losing your voice in the trade. A two-week live cohort for working writers who want the leverage of AI and none of the sameness.

Sound familiar?

You've tried AI tools and everything comes out sounding like a press release written by a toaster.
You spend more time fixing the machine's drafts than you would have spent writing the thing yourself.
You're secretly worried that using AI at all makes you a fraud — or worse, replaceable.
Your publishing pace hasn't budged, while everyone else seems to be shipping daily.

There's a smarter division of labor.

The problem was never the machine — it's what you're asking it to do. Writers who thrive with AI don't outsource their voice; they outsource the scaffolding: the research, the structure, the ninety bad first sentences. Then they show up for the part only they can do. That split — ordinary half out, human half in — is a learnable system, and it takes about two weeks to install.

Introducing

AI for Writers Who'd Rather Keep Writing

A live, two-week cohort where you'll build your own AI-assisted writing pipeline — prompt patterns tuned to your actual voice, a drafting workflow that starts with your ideas instead of the machine's, and an editing pass that makes everything unmistakably yours. You'll leave publishing twice as much, sounding twice as much like yourself.

What changes after this class

Ship 2–3× more

Same voice, same standards, half the drafting time.

A voice file that travels

A reusable profile of your style any tool can follow.

No more blank page

Every draft starts at 60% done — your 60%.

Judgment, sharpened

Know instantly what to keep, cut, and never automate.

The curriculum

Week 1, Session 1 — Your Voice, on Paper

Deconstruct your own writing into a voice profile the machine can actually follow: cadence, vocabulary, taboos, tics.

Week 1, Session 2 — The Ordinary Half

Which parts of your process to hand over (research, outlines, variants) and which to guard with your life.

Week 2, Session 1 — The Pipeline

Build your end-to-end workflow live: idea → structure → machine draft → human pass → shipped.

Week 2, Session 2 — The Editing Pass

The 20-minute edit that turns competent AI output into something only you could have written.

What's included

4 live sessions with Ash (recordings included, forever)
The complete prompt-pattern library, pre-tuned for writers
Your personal voice file, built during class
Workbook + templates for every session
Two weeks of async feedback on your drafts

The schedule

Live sessions run Tuesdays & Thursdays at 12pm ET for two consecutive weeks. Every session is recorded and posted within the hour — attend live for the feedback, or watch on your own clock from whatever time zone you're pretending to work in.

How long it takes

About 3 hours per week for two weeks: two 60-minute live sessions plus roughly an hour of homework you'll actually want to do, because the homework is your own writing.

What students say

Questions, answered

Do I need to be technical?

If you can write an email, you can do this. We use plain-language tools; there is no code, and there will be no "API keys" unless you ask nicely.

Which AI tools does this cover?

The system is tool-agnostic — the patterns work in Claude, ChatGPT, or whatever exists by the time you read this. You'll never be stranded by a product update.

What if I can't attend live?

Recordings post within the hour and you keep them forever. Async feedback means you're never penalized for having a life.

What is the refund policy?

All sales are final due to the nature of digital products.

Will this make my writing sound like AI?

The entire point of the class is the opposite. If you leave sounding less like yourself, I have failed and will personally write you an apology in my own voice, which is legally distinct.

The Final Exam

Q1 of 1: A robot offers to write your memoir. You:

A. Decline politely. It wasn't there for the Kmart parking lot.
B. Accept, but only if it gets your mother's meatball recipe wrong on purpose, like she would have wanted.
C. Counter-offer: it does the typing, you do the living.
D. Enroll in this class and make the robot earn its keep. (Correct. Everyone passes.)
