Helping people write like humans in the age of AI.

My Story

In 2022, AI took my job. Almost.

Since I was a child, I'd dreamt of becoming a writer. I was especially interested in fiction; it was my escape from a world I didn't particularly enjoy living in. While my friends outgrew their childhood hobbies, I never outgrew mine. Writing was my breathing.

When I grew up, I went on to study English Literature for my undergrad and Creative Writing for my postgrad. Despite being told by every friend and stranger in my life that it was impossible I'd ever make money from writing, I did.

After my Master's in Creative Writing, I started reaching out to indie authors, offering to proofread and copyedit their books in exchange for testimonials. Slowly, those testimonials turned into paid projects. Within a year, I was earning enough to live comfortably in London, something I’d once thought impossible for a freelance editor.

At first, AI tools like Grammarly and ProWritingAid felt like allies. They helped writers express themselves more clearly and made my work as an editor more efficient. But then came 2022 and the birth of ChatGPT.

Suddenly, the freelance market was flooded. Clients began comparing human editors to algorithms that could churn out text in seconds. Rates plummeted. Projects vanished. Overnight, my carefully built career began to crumble.

I had to make difficult decisions. But I wasn't ready to head back home just yet. I took up an unfilling job and continued exploring how I can survive as a writer and editor in the world of AI. For months, I resented AI. It felt like the enemy, an unstoppable wave that had erased years of hard work.

But eventually, I realised something. AI didn’t take my creativity. It didn’t take my curiosity, or my voice, or my understanding of people and stories. It just changed the way the world writes.

Now, I see it differently. AI isn’t my competition, it’s my collaborator. It’s not yet capable of replacing the human touch, the emotional depth, or the lived experience that makes writing art. Someday, maybe it will be. But not today.

Today, I’m teaching people to use AI in their writing, to adapt, evolve, and create something even stronger. Because good writing isn’t about resisting change, it’s about transforming with it.

What Happens When You’re Too Polite to ChatGPT?: ChatGPT Prompt Tips for Better Results

If you’ve ever asked ChatGPT for help and got a vague or shallow answer, you’re not alone.Turns out, the problem might not be the AI, it might be your manners. A recent study on arXiv suggests that being rude or direct with AI actually leads to better responses. Why? Because AI models like ChatGPT don’t understand courtesy, they understand clarity. ChatGPT prompt tips When you type “Could you please kindly explain…” you’re adding extra tokens, filler words that add confusion

The AI Pay Gap: How Algorithms Are Reinforcing Inequality in Freelancing

The COVID-19 era supercharged the demand for freelance talent but it also accelerated the adoption of AI tools and algorithmic rate-setting platforms. Freelancers now often interact with intermediary platforms that suggest hourly ranges based on past listings, project demand, and location. But if those algorithms are trained on historical data in which women quoted lower rates, they can perpetuate or deepen existing disparities. In one U.S. sample (via Upwork / OnDeck), men c

How AI Can Help You Overcome Writer’s Block (Without Killing Your Creativity)

You open your laptop ready to write your next masterpiece. You don’t know what it is yet, but you are sure by the time you open your word document you’ll know what it’s about. You stare at the blank screen. It hasn’t come to you yet. So you decide to wait. You check your tweets, you watch cute cats on YouTube, and after five hours you come back to the blank screen. You still can’t write. You have writer’s block. Good. You deserve it. This is not an insult. Writer’s block is i

Marketing in the Age of AI

For any kind of business to thrive, it needs a good marketing plan. Many creators have incredible ideas for products or services, but not always the time, energy, or skill to market them effectively. No matter how good your offering is, if people don’t know about it, they won’t buy it. This is where AI can step in as your creative assistant rather than your replacement. Marketing doesn’t have to be overwhelming anymore. You can automate repetitive work, brainstorm content ide

What I Learnt From the Happiest Person in the World

Being happy is not a competition. Or at least, I thought it wasn’t. But Google tells me there is a man who has won this race and been named the happiest person in the world. In fact, there has been scientific research done to prove this claim. “The scans showed that when meditating on compassion, Ricard’s brain produces a level of gamma waves — those linked to consciousness, attention, learning, and memory — never reported before in the neuroscience literature”, Richard David

AI Can’t Replicate Your Voice And That’s Your Superpower as a Writer

There’s no denying it: AI is changing how we write. From idea generation to grammar fixes, tools like ChatGPT and Grammarly are now part of many writers’ processes. Some find this thrilling. Others, terrifying. But in all this noise, one thing remains true: your voice is irreplaceable . As a writer, your voice is more than the way you write. It’s your sensibility, your rhythm, your unique way of seeing the world. And that is something no machine can fake. What AI Can Do for
