The AI Writing Field Guide

What You'll Learn

Most AI writing advice splits into two camps: enthusiasts who tell you AI can write everything, and purists who say AI will ruin your voice. Neither camp helps you actually do the work.

This guide is for people who already use AI writing tools — and want to produce output that sounds like them, not like a corporate memo. It is built around a practical system you can apply to your next draft, not a philosophy about what AI writing should or should not be.

• The detection framework — Learn to spot AI patterns in your own writing before your readers do. The anatomy of slop, explained plainly.
• The 5-step voice system — A repeatable process for teaching AI what your voice actually sounds like, starting with samples you already have.
• The editing process — The six-step workflow where voice is won or lost. This is where generic output becomes yours.
• Failure modes and fixes — The six warning signs and five patterns that derail even people who understand the theory.
• Templates and resources — Ready-to-use prompt templates, style guide structures, and the research behind the methods.

I write daily — newsletters, blog posts, course content — using AI as part of the process. This guide documents what actually works, not what sounds good in a workshop.

Time commitment: Around 2.5 hours total. Module 3 is the core of the system — work through it with your own writing samples in front of you.
