Dear Friends, For months, perhaps years, many of you have been pressing me to tackle one subject in particular: AI. I'm delighted to say that it's finally here: ⭐ AI Writing Mastery: How to Write Professionally, Stylishly, and Ethically With ChatGPT & Other AI Tools ⭐ You can find it in the Classroom alongside my other courses. ❗️ This may be one of the most important courses I've ever created. As you know, for the past few years the world has been rushing headlong into AI to help write emails, reports, articles, strategies, business plans, presentations, books, and more. The problem is that many people are using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude without first understanding the craft of writing itself. The result is a growing flood of written content that sounds polished but often lacks genuine thought, stylistic sensitivity, or human insight. At stake is more than the quality of our emails and reports. It is the quality of our communication, our culture, and the creative arts. And yet, amid all the excitement and controversy surrounding AI, one question has remained largely unanswered: ❓ How do you actually use these tools well? ❓ In other words, how can you guide AI with literary vision, artistic integrity, and editorial discernment? ❓ How can you avoid the growing catalogue of tonal, rhythmic, and language tells of generic AI prose? ❓ And more broadly, is it possible to combine the timeless principles of good writing with the emerging discipline of prompting in a way that uplifts, rather than degrades, literary craft? These questions are precisely what this course sets out to answer. 🎯 🎯 🎯 WHAT'S INSIDE THE COURSE ✅ Across more than five hours of training, we explore powerful prompting frameworks and advanced prompting mindsets. ✅ I also share my complete Flair Prompting system, which teaches you how to prompt specifically for the four ingredients of good writing: Simplicity, Clarity, Elegance, and Evocativeness. ✅ The course also provides techniques for humanising AI-generated language, along with practical guidance on navigating the technical, legal, ethical, and professional realities surrounding AI.

A very happy new year to you, my friends! I mean it when I say I'm blessed to have you all on this journey with me. This year is going to be a fascinating one for writers like us. We're facing a moment like no other in the history of our craft. AI has changed the playing field beyond recognition, as writers everywhere struggle to get their heads around what it means for us. I’ve had a few people ask when my book on the subject, The Alchemy of Prompting, is coming out. I wanted to share a little of what’s been happening behind the scenes. When I first began writing it, I imagined a practical guide; a clear explanation of how to prompt well, supported by a few examples and frameworks. The deeper I went, though, the more I realised a simple overview wouldn't suffice. As I wrote, it stopped being merely a book about AI and began turning into the story of where writing itself is heading. Eventually, I realised the book was doing something quite new and remarkable. It was building a bridge between two formerly separate disciplines: the timeless craft of writing and the emerging craft of prompting. The raw material needed for that bridge was what I'd been teaching students like you for the past decade or more, namely, the four ingredients of great prose: simplicity, clarity, elegance, and evocativeness. As the book grew, it became more demanding, as I realised the subject deserved more than just shortcuts and enthusiasm. It required a proper treatment that honoured the intelligence of writers who'd want to use these tools without surrendering their literary voice or artistic integrity. I'm glad I let the idea mature before publishing a "good enough" book too soon. Now, I feel this may well become the definitive book on the subject, at least for a while. The final version is currently in the capable editing hands of our own @Nicolas J. I just wanted you to know that the delay isn’t because the book is stuck, but because it's turned into something I believe is far more valuable.

Hey everyone! It's good to be here. I'm Simon, and I hail from India. I've been writing for quite a long time, and I'm a published poet too. I want to publish a novel someday, and I want to learn the ins and outs of writing & editing. Happy to be here!

Recently, I was thinking about words that, over the years, have stopped being hyphenated. It's typically an uneven process, whereby the most daring writers begin the trend, and then others sheepishly follow. Personally, I love it when we lose hyphens. For me, they're a bit of an eyesore on the page. Here are some ex-hyphenated words: 1. Email (e-mail) 2. Website (web-site) 3. Voicemail (voice-mail) 4. Notebook (note-book) 5. Healthcare (health-care) Can you think of any more? And, like me, do you also welcome these transitions?

Hey everyone! I faced this issue with the subtitles for the lecture "Know your Intent" from the Writing with Flair course. In between the subtitles switch to a random mix of letters and symbols.
