A little hand-holding. No hype.
Publishing on Amazon can be as simple as uploading your book and clicking a few buttons. But if you want a little more control, the questions start piling up quickly.
Joseph O’Sullivan walks through using AI as a working tool, keeping dependable backups, finding beta readers, handling the business side, preparing covers and book files, avoiding publishing scams, and reaching readers.
AI Publishing Quick Start Guide is a short, practical roadmap built from real publishing experience. It won’t promise that AI can turn a hundred-question prompt into a great 70,000-word novel. You’re still the author. AI is a tool.
And yes, some lessons were learned the hard way—including six hours spent recovering a 96,000-word manuscript after an AI system helpfully summarized it into oblivion.
The guide also covers using Amazon Cover Creator with your own artwork, audiobook planning, review rules, and the difference between AI-assisted and AI-generated content.
A publishing checklist, reusable editing prompts, a budget worksheet, and a worked editing example help you put the advice into practice.
Use the tools. Learn the process. Keep your hands on the wheel.
