CONTROL YOUR PERSONA: A DIGITAL RIGHTS MANIFESTO
We are human beings, not training data.
We are not raw material for the AI slop machine.
We create. We write, we speak, we think, we publish. Our creativity is central to who we are. It is not free fuel for your models.

Technology, regardless of how powerful, is no more than a tool. We can use this tool to empower ourselves and create our own personas. Anyone else who does so is a criminal.
We embrace these principles and call on all AI companies to do the same.

We appreciate GG friend @jbernoff's smart complement to the topic, demonstrating how variable the cost of writing a ghostwritten chapter can be and why. bernoff.com/blog/how-much-do…

Honestly. You need to talk to your clients FIRST about what publishing path they are taking. That's not a detail to leave to the end.

Up now on the blog: Ghostwriters are often asked to advise clients on the best publishing path to take. @brooke_warner, @naren_amplify, @jbernoff, and @reginalbrooks weighed in on how ghostwriters can navigate this conversation at Gathering of the Ghosts: gothamghostwriters.com/summa…

Interviewing is a horribly inexact science.
You just can’t know how well someone will perform in a role until they’ve actually had a chance to do it.
So be careful not to set up a hiring process so rigid and exacting that it guarantees you only hire great people. Not only will you slow your hiring to a crawl, but you’ll have certainly turned away dozens of people who would have been amazing - had you only given them the chance to show you that they could be.

What a great conversation with the ever-perceptive Rishad Tobaccowala. Everything from how books succeed to how AI will change the author's place in the world.

To write a book or to not write a book? That’s not even the question, according to @jbernoff. The real question is: Do you want to keep plugging away at what you are doing now? Or can the time you spend working on a book take things up a notch? bernoff.com/blog/the-opportu…

Tips for turning #AI into your writing partner, not your replacement, by @jbernoff. But remember, don’t use a robot’s draft for your final, and check for plagiarism, voice and accuracy.
