That is why I am here.
AI Writing vs Human Writing 🧐
Can someone give me some good examples of the main differences between AI writing and human writing?

I look at all of this as evolution. I remember when computer graphics came out. The traditional artist stayed away, because it was not "Real" Art. But over time it was adopted as an art form. Using AI is similar. It is a tool that will be evolving. How we use it, is the real key. Is it doing all the work or is it helping you with presenting different ideas?
What is your experience with IngramSpark and bookstores?
I have placed my first series of books on Amazon KDP. I am looking at using IngramSpark for my next book. My understanding is book stores want a 40-50% discount and free returns. I like the idea of my local book store being able to sell my book. I am also fine with the discount and making less of a royalty. But how do you plan for book returns? Has anyone had experiences with book returns by book stores?

I loved the beautiful artwork. The graphics are stunning. I like how some pages had full page layouts. Some were different and some were two thirds. As a new author I am struggling with my layouts. Thinking it has to be the same thought out the book.
Book Format
I have been creating books in an 8.5 X 11 format. With the illustration spanning both pages. I also have the text over the illustrations. I am exploring other formats. What formats do you use? Do you use different formats for each book?
