AI-generated text editing & rewriting services.

Why pay a writer when ChatGPT or Bard can write your book or screenplay or paper for free?

Chatbots are pretty good at assembling information and constructing stories. They are also notorious for including erroneous info. And they are notorious for reading like a chatbot wrote it. You know, overly formal. Sterile, perhaps. Devoid of personality. When was the last time you met a robot with a personality?

A lawyer recently got into trouble with a judge. That lawyer used ChatGPT to write a legal brief. The chatbot invented cases it cited in the brief. When other parties in the case tried to research the fictional citations, the blowback was severe. The lawyer begged to be forgiven for depending so much on AI. Fortune magazine reported on it, as did many other news outlets.

Things can get dicey when you use AI to write webtext. A recent news report said Google is working on ways to detect AI-written text. Will a website’s Google search ranking be affected by AI-generated text? It’s too early to know for sure but consider this:

Bard is a Google product. It would be a simple matter to detect website text if Bard created it. If Bard created it, that text is stored in Google’s memory somewhere. And if it finds that identical text on your website?

ChatGPT resulted from a partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft. Microsoft has a search engine called Bing. Same potential problem.

We can edit AI-generated text. We can also rewrite it. AI “large language model” bots may yet take over the world but at the moment, they’re not ready. Human writers and editors, on the other hand, are always ready.

You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.

Jodi Picoult

No writer has ever yet been known to hang himself as long as he had another chapter left.

Thomas Wolfe

Have something to say, and say it as clearly as you can. That is the only secret.

Matthew Arnold

Asking a working writer what he thinks about critics is like asking a lamppost how it feels about dogs.

Christopher Hampton

Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade, just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Truman Capote

It is only natural to pattern yourself after someone. But you can’t just copy someone. If you like someone’s work, the important thing is to be exposed to everything that person has been exposed to.

Bob Dylan

When writing a novel, that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: “House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1,500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.”

Neil Gaiman

A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.

G.K. Chesterton

Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.

Michael Burke

My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.

Anton Chekhov

If you haven’t got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you’ll only have to throw away the first three pages.

William C. Gault

Don’t annoy an author, you’ll end up in their book and you won’t look good.

Lawrence Wray

The first chapter sells the book; the last chapter sells the next book.

Mickey Spillane

A true author, no matter the medium, is an artist with godlike knowledge of his subject, and the proof of his authorship is that his pages smack of authority.

Robert McKee

Stories are never too long or too short. They’re too interesting or too boring.

William Shawn

Do not place a photograph of your favorite author on your desk, especially if the author is one of the famous ones who committed suicide.

Roddy Doyle

If you have an idea that you genuinely think is good, don’t let some idiot talk you out of it.

Stan Lee

Plot is, I think, the good writer’s last resort and the dullard’s first choice.

Stephen King

I write the last line, and then I write the line before that. I find myself writing backwards for a while, until I have a solid sense of how that ending sounds and feels. You have to know what your voice sounds like at the end of the story, because it tells you how to sound when you begin.

John Irving

The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home.
