LET'S TALK ABOUT THE AI IN THE WRITERS' ROOM

This is for you, if once in your life you had that moment when you KNEW that picking up a pen and telling your story was the key to your future.

This is for you if, today, you're thinking that using AI tools to help tell your story is going to be the key to your future...

Let's talk.

I've won three Emmys for writing, helped build Twitter's early team, and now I have a day job helping companies integrate AI into the workplace*. 

I need to tell you something: AI is transforming how we tell stories, particularly in TV, film, and books. Not in some distant future. Right now.

That's why I created The AI Writers' Room — a laboratory where we explore how AI is reshaping our craft, one project at a time.

What you'll find here isn't speculation. Writers -- I know you’re out there, using ChatGPT, Claude and other tools. I'm currently writing two projects using AI tools at every step. 

I believe that the WGA made smart steps in the latest MBA. But we can’t pretend that AI isn’t in the writers’ room. So, I'm sharing the entire process — successes, failures, and everything in between — because writers need real data, not more AI hype.

This newsletter is for you if:

• You're a professional writer curious about how AI can enhance (not replace) your process

• You want practical insights about AI tools from someone who understands writers' room dynamics

• You're interested in how these tools might transform development, pitching, and production

• You're wrestling with both the creative and ethical implications of AI in writing

Here's what to expect:

• Monday Think Pieces: Deep dives into AI's impact on professional writing. From writers' room dynamics to development deals, we'll explore how these tools are changing the game.

• Wednesday Experiments: Follow along as I write two projects using AI tools. You'll see my actual prompts, real outputs, and honest assessments of what works (and what really doesn't).

• Tool Reviews: Occasional practical evaluations of AI writing tools from a professional writer's perspective. No hype, no affiliate links — just honest insights about what might actually be useful in your workflow.

Subscribe now to join other professional writers exploring AI's impact on our craft. Every insight comes from actual experience — both from my current projects and from working with others exploring these tools.

If you know other writers wrestling with AI's role in their work, please share this newsletter. This might be the only writers' room ever that will get better with more writers.
