Monday Morning Jumpstart:
Why Writers Should Stop Fearing AI — and Start Using It

Watch Video

AI isn’t replacing writers — but refusing to use it could hold you back.

In this episode of Monday Morning Jumpstart, AWAI President Rebecca Matter and Director of Training, Jade Trueblood tackle the fear and misconceptions around AI head-on. They show you why AI isn’t a threat to your creativity, but a powerful tool you can use to work smarter, faster, and with more confidence.

Watch to discover:

  • The mindset shift that turns AI from something scary into a serious advantage
  • A surprising way bestselling authors get work done — and what it means for you
  • Why there’s no single “right” way to use AI (and how that freedom benefits you)
  • Simple ways to use AI that can spark ideas and move projects forward
  • How AI could even help you connect with new clients

If you’ve been hesitant to try AI, this episode will show you why now’s the time to experiment and find your own way of making it work for you.

Be sure to join us every Monday morning for a boost of writing motivation, plus tips and strategies to make sure you’re staying on track and moving toward your goals all year.
