Your videos are the best. Thank you for going into details on your prompts and workflows. This is the first time ive wanted to join a book club 😊. Ive only seen a few videos and hope to binge watch the rest soon.
A rather important point to consider: AI-generated output CANNOT be copyrighted under current U.S. copyright law. Not unless a human substantially transforms that AI-created work. And such transformation requires more than just editing a few lines. A recent federal court decision (Thaler v. Perlmutter) just last week reaffirmed the long-standing human authorship requirement for U.S. copyright protection. That decision specifically ruled AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted.
@@TheNerdyNovelist _But by the time any competent author is don’t editing output like this, it’s more than enough transformative work._ I'm not so sure. In the traditional case a human was creating the work from the start, so it was always copyrightable. But in the AI case, the starting point was not human authored and thus not copyrightable. So the bar is much higher to reach that copyrightable level. I expect there will be legal cases that will firm up the degree to which an AI-story must be transformed to qualify for copyright. Even then, there is still the matter that only the changes made by a human to an AI-generated work are copyrightable; the remaining work is not because it was not human authored.
@@primmakinsofis614 Yea but how can they know if was written by AI or not if most competent authors will just heavily edit most of what the AI generate. Its not like the Ai does all the work except if you want to end up with a lazy mediocre book
I would love to see this video as a write-up just to get to the prompts. So many. Love watching your videos, but always wish you added the prompts in the the write-ups or at least a link to your site for follow up.
Cool. I am using the plotter/panster hybrid method. I brainstorm my ideas and outline first, and then I write my own scene from the outline in the next message to make sure Claude 2 or chatgpt generates the scene accurately. If not, I edit it myself.
Great video. As a 45-year-old man, I've been writing for 35 years. I've written full novels. 140k to 281k words. I've written 35 novels so far. I've only ever used Word, and a Mac, and my imagination. I've had to learn the craft of writing from thousands of painful hours sat at my desk writing when everyone else was out having fun. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a killjoy, I do go out, gym, see friends etc, but I was curious to see what AI can do. Obviously, nothing can replace the human imagination, but I will monitor these developments in technology as my millionaire writer friends are very suspicious, as they are old school, like myself in many ways. But I'm optimistic about the future! 🙂
Great video. The simple fact you can hold a person’s attention for over 5 minutes is impressive (people seem to have no patience and want instant gratification nowadays). You however manage to be able to hold onto your audience for over 48 minutes (at least you did we me). Very VERY impressive. I think you are doing great work and your approach and explanation on the subject matter is great. Well done and look forward to next video(s).
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. A question: what if I have already written the book and need to use AI to improve the writing (grammar/style) and expand some ideas? Are there any tools to do that? Thank you.
@@PseudoProphet Interesting that you don't even ask what I write or what stories I tell. Right now everything is still draft one. Trying to build up a back catalog. First several stories I want to write are heavily interconnected. I am having that all set up first and done right before I publish. Most likely I just go to straight to self publishing. Publishing houses want super safe stories. The amount of genre massup I will be doing will almost be a instant "no" to them.
@@PseudoProphet I don't know how you would do that. Not even the experts know. The only way would be to have it write 100% with no editing and refinement. It's said that is flat and has blank room syndrome. I wouldn't be caught dead "writing" that way.
Thank you for your video! I really enjoyed it and it helped me a lot to put my own story together. I'm a total newbie. Where to you go after have generated all the chapters? How and where do you put a cover and chapters together to form the book? Is this done in the amazon app?
Thank you very much for the detailed work on AI writing tools. I have a problem. My stories are already written without AI and I just wanted to twig the 10 short stories (each around 2500 words) and make it more punchy. How can I copy and paste in Sudowrite to accomplish the task. Thank you very much, sincerely Alexander
Thanks Jason. I'm curious. Why did you use Sudowrite to generate the prose when you know it's using GPT 4 and have already done so much prep work there? Not to mention it will really burn up your word count limit. (I can difinately see the benefits of editing in Sudowrite.)
Can you use this for Non-fiction, especially a semi-memoir style non-fiction book. eg. I'd like to write one about my journey as an expat living abroad, while also being a self-help guide, or one about personal finance, and again with self-help like Kiyrsaki. I watched the NovelCrafter video, but just wondering if its possible to do with mostly Claude and maybe Sudowrite. I need to be able to insert a lot of details about myself and own journey and experiences. I looked also at your super prompt and not sure if I can use it for a 50000-60000 word book. please advice.
Do you happen to have a video on how to help with finishing something you already wrote? Like I have two chapters already written but I need the outline for the next 3 books and to help flush out the first two chapters I wrote for book one and to make an outline for book one. Thank you!
Great video, I'm having a hard time emotionally thinking any of the work is mine though. Even with my editing, it still doesn't feel like it's mine, just rewriting someone else's work. Plus editing bores me rigid😅
Hi. I am struggling to find the right chatGPT or Claude to buy. Can someone help me with a link? I paid for Claude 2.0 but is saying is not helping me to write a novel...please help me if you know how. Much appreciated. Have a nice day.
I'm not sure why, but the audio is out of sync with the video, just a bit, but just enough to feel off. I noticed this in another of your videos as well. I don't think it's my internet speed, I'm on fiber now, and I don't see this with other channels I follow. When I slowed it down to 0.75 (by mistake, I had it slowed down for the previous video from a really speedy talker), I could really see quite a delay. Just thought I'd let you know in case you want to check it out and fix it in future videos.
When you are in the enhancement portion of Sudowrite do the generated changes also count toward your allotted word count? If I am writing a 75,000 word book will the 90,000 word subscription be sufficient if I am just having it write the prose and assist in tweaking the chapters?
Probably. I’ve found that there’s often a lot that I cut from the finished prose. So a 4000 word chapter might end up being 3000. But yeah if your goal is 75000 a month you can probably get there. Or close to it.
Thank you, I appreciate your teaching! I am unsubscribing from a lot of crappy influencers. It's been a headache. I prayed to get a good teacher, praise the Lord!
For middle-grade fantasy-adventure, do you have any style guidance to give sudowrite for prose dialogue generation for characters who are kids? I have not yet worried about it or started to edit my drafts. I'm still experimenting. Maybe it is fine, and maybe the average 12-year-old reader won't notice or care about what an adult writer/editor might think. I assume I won't really find out until I find some beta readers. My wife, an avid reader, tells me that companion pets shouldn't be "talking" so much. Sudowrite seemed fine with the dog but started to have the parrot switch from squawking to saying after a few beats.
I wouldn't be able to give you a good answer without spending a good amount of time trying to write chapters targeting that style. It's a constant back and forth tweaking the style and trying again. Eventually you'll get something that's appropriate.

This is a great video. Do you feel that a book written with this process is “yours” and what is the current legal situation with the copyright? Do you tell your reader about using these tools?
Do you not discuss, brainstorm, and research your ideas on your story? When auto-correct fixes your spelling is it legally obligated? Personally, I have sat working on a story for about two months, tweaking the characters, the plot, the backstory, all because I would think of something and I had something to kick around ideas. If you're just letting the AI spit out the story and go with it, then you have a bad story.
@@geraldhone752 I am not criticising the use of ai. I am fascinated by the opportunities and using it myself. I just want to understand all implications as all of this is still new and under development. It is a new technology. In Germany were I live a online attorney said that there is no copyright for ai generated contend according to our laws as copyright only applies to natural persons…. I am not a lawyer and can’t confirm or refute this but over here it is not clear and currently discussed.
@@leatherwiz _In Germany were I live a online attorney said that there is no copyright for ai generated contend according to our laws as copyright only applies to natural persons_ It's the same in the United States. The U.S. Copyright Office states that AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted unless that work was substantially transformed by a human. Such transformation would require much more than editing a few lines of an AI-written story or adding a few brush strokes to an AI-created artwork. This human authorship requirement is well-established, long-standing, and backed by multiple legal precedents. It was reaffirmed just last week in a federal court decision (Thaler v. Perlmutter) which ruled AI-generated artwork cannot be copyrighted.
@@geraldhone752 If the AI software is what is deciding the words used, the sentence composition, the metaphors and similes used, etc., then the work will not be copyrightable in the U.S. because those are the creative, expressive elements of a written work and those must be authored by a human. If a machine decides those creative, expressive elements, the work is not copyrightable under current U.S. copyright law. If you used AI to give you story ideas but you wrote the story entirely yourself, then the work is copyrightable. If it's somewhere in-between, the U.S. Copyright Office will decide on a case-by-case basis, and will look at whether the AI-generated original was sufficiently transformed as to qualify as a new work.
If it’s purely AI you don’t have copyright. But the good news is it will almost certainly not be a problem if you do even a single edit on the content. Because the amount of editing needed will easily make it yours and make it copyrightable.
great video I have just written a book using chatgpt and have a copy editor going over it. can a editor developmental and copy make the ai content original and pass ai detection. can you do a video on how proffessionals can make ai non detectable
You'd better check with a copyright/IP lawyer because there's a good chance your book cannot be copyrighted in the U.S. If you let the AI software write all of the prose and all you did was edit a few lines, then almost certainly the U.S. Copyright Office will not register the copyright for the book. People are really overlooking the copyright aspect. Many seem to think that because you are the one giving instructions to the AI software, that means you have copyright over the output. You don't. Not in the U.S. American copyright law is very clear: only creative works authored by a human are eligible for copyright protection. A federal court decision issued just last week (Thaler v. Perlmutter) reaffirmed the well-established and long-standing human authorship requirement for copyright protection. It specifically ruled AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted since the creative, expressive elements were decided by the software and not a human.
Most of book is edited by myself and written I have told copy editor which bits are ai, mostly description and conversation characters and plots all my own writing
@@craigbradwell3451 If you are registering the work with the U.S. Copyright Office, you'll have to tell it about the amount AI was used in the work. Depending on your answer, the Office may or may not register the work.

There was a website that let you make an entire book with images and chapters. I don't remember the site. Can you help me to find it or can we make our own ai?
You have STORY INFORMATION capitalized. Why is that? Are we leaving that in the prompt as is or are we replacing that with something else? This is a question from the creating beats section.
Is there any way to edit the audio to get rid of the thump thump thump every single time you touch the keyboard? I think your microphone may have been poorly placed.
This is just a thing for my desk. All of my videos have had this problem. The only way to get rid of it will be to have some kind of suspension arm for my microphone, which I've tried before and didn't work because the Mic was too heavy. So I'm doing research to figure out what might work better.
The Only 7 Prompts AI Authors Need to Write Their First Book 1. Brainstorming Prompt: Used to generate ideas, especially focusing on a premise and an ending for the story. It can take various forms, and the author emphasizes the importance of knowing where the story is going. Give me 10 ideas for the Premise for a novel about [whatever] Give me 10 ideas for the ending for a novel about [whatever premise you picked] 2. Synopsis Prompt: This prompt helps in creating a detailed synopsis for the story, often using a traditional three-act structure. It builds on the premise and ending, providing a roadmap for the story. Given the following premise and story information, give me a highly detailed synopsis for a [genre] story in the tradition of three-act structure. Each act should be clearly labeled and should build toward an ending I've described 3. Outlining Prompt: This prompt is used to create a detailed outline of the story, breaking it down into parts or chapters. It can be tailored to a specific outlining method, such as the 24-chapter novel outline. Using the following synopsis, create a detailed summary of the story, flushing out additional details and breaking it into Parts using the [outline method of choice eg, Heros jorney] 4. Character Prompt: This prompt is used to write character profiles, including details about the protagonist, antagonist, or mentor. It can include physical descriptions, backstories, and other character-specific information. Write a character profile about the protagonist of the novel [Insert synopsis] Here's what we know so far about the character: [ Insert current summary of character ] Include the following elements: [ insert desired elements here] 5. Story Beats Prompt: This prompt helps in developing the story beats for each chapter, providing a detailed action plan for the script. It emphasizes specificity and the use of proper nouns. Take the following chapter summary and generate a list of 12 highly detailed action beats for a script with additional [story information]To fully flesh out the chapter. make sure to always use proper nouns instead of pronouns. [ Add chapter 1 etc. etc] 6. Style Prompt: This prompt is more personalized and can vary widely. It helps in defining the writing style, including aspects like point of view, dialogue, verbs, conflict, and description. It can be crafted to include or exclude specific writing techniques. First person past point of view of[ insert character name] show don't tell deep point of view. realistic dialogue. strong verbs. lots of conflict/drama and description. Avoid mushy descriptions/dialog. (you can put this under the Custom instructions in chat GPT) 7. Constructing the Prose Prompt: The final prompt is used to construct the prose of the story. It can include details like genre, tone, key characters, and specific story beats to cover. It's used to write the actual text of the chapters, guided by the previous prompts. Write 1,000 words of a chapter using the following details: Genre: Tone: point of view: Setting: Key characters: Story beats to cover: (give it 2 or 3 at a time)
Adding-all-the-dashes-probably doesn’t come across as a token word in the LLM. So you might be getting around word count, but messing with the llm. I would want to test that to see how it really does. Why don’t you use the clipboard icon in OpenAI to copy that block of text? You click and drag the block instead. As someone with RSI in my wrists it makes me cringe to see that.
Are you guys in your right novels fast right a novel in 10 minutes write a novel in a day. I guess you could do that or you could write a good novel, but you’re not gonna do both. It’s all Clickbait bullshit.

If you're just letting the AI spit out the story and go with it, then you have a bad story.
@@geraldhone752 I am not criticising the use of ai. I am fascinated by the opportunities and using it myself. I just want to understand all implications as all of this is still new and under development. It is a new technology. In Germany were I live a online attorney said that there is no copyright for ai generated contend according to our laws as copyright only applies to natural persons…. I am not a lawyer and can’t confirm or refute this but over here it is not clear and currently discussed.
@@leatherwiz _In Germany were I live a online attorney said that there is no copyright for ai generated contend according to our laws as copyright only applies to natural persons_
It's the same in the United States.
The U.S. Copyright Office states that AI-generated works cannot be copyrighted unless that work was substantially transformed by a human. Such transformation would require much more than editing a few lines of an AI-written story or adding a few brush strokes to an AI-created artwork.
This human authorship requirement is well-established, long-standing, and backed by multiple legal precedents. It was reaffirmed just last week in a federal court decision (Thaler v. Perlmutter) which ruled AI-generated artwork cannot be copyrighted.
@@geraldhone752 If the AI software is what is deciding the words used, the sentence composition, the metaphors and similes used, etc., then the work will not be copyrightable in the U.S. because those are the creative, expressive elements of a written work and those must be authored by a human. If a machine decides those creative, expressive elements, the work is not copyrightable under current U.S. copyright law.
If you used AI to give you story ideas but you wrote the story entirely yourself, then the work is copyrightable.
If it's somewhere in-between, the U.S. Copyright Office will decide on a case-by-case basis, and will look at whether the AI-generated original was sufficiently transformed as to qualify as a new work.
If it’s purely AI you don’t have copyright. But the good news is it will almost certainly not be a problem if you do even a single edit on the content. Because the amount of editing needed will easily make it yours and make it copyrightable.
great video I have just written a book using chatgpt and have a copy editor going over it. can a editor developmental and copy make the ai content original and pass ai detection. can you do a video on how proffessionals can make ai non detectable
What if the copy editor uses ai to check the copy….😂😉
Would a professional copy editor do that
You'd better check with a copyright/IP lawyer because there's a good chance your book cannot be copyrighted in the U.S.
If you let the AI software write all of the prose and all you did was edit a few lines, then almost certainly the U.S. Copyright Office will not register the copyright for the book.
People are really overlooking the copyright aspect. Many seem to think that because you are the one giving instructions to the AI software, that means you have copyright over the output. You don't. Not in the U.S.
American copyright law is very clear: only creative works authored by a human are eligible for copyright protection.
A federal court decision issued just last week (Thaler v. Perlmutter) reaffirmed the well-established and long-standing human authorship requirement for copyright protection. It specifically ruled AI-generated art cannot be copyrighted since the creative, expressive elements were decided by the software and not a human.
Most of book is edited by myself and written I have told copy editor which bits are ai, mostly description and conversation characters and plots all my own writing
@@craigbradwell3451 If you are registering the work with the U.S. Copyright Office, you'll have to tell it about the amount AI was used in the work. Depending on your answer, the Office may or may not register the work.
There was a website that let you make an entire book with images and chapters. I don't remember the site. Can you help me to find it or can we make our own ai?
You might be thinking of Sudowrite.
@@TheNerdyNovelist Thanks
Is the work created made public in any way? In other words, can others see the ideas you're coming up with?
You have STORY INFORMATION capitalized. Why is that? Are we leaving that in the prompt as is or are we replacing that with something else? This is a question from the creating beats section.
It's to add emphasis. Sometimes the AI needs you to call attention to a specific word or phrase.
Is there any way to edit the audio to get rid of the thump thump thump every single time you touch the keyboard? I think your microphone may have been poorly placed.
This is just a thing for my desk. All of my videos have had this problem. The only way to get rid of it will be to have some kind of suspension arm for my microphone, which I've tried before and didn't work because the Mic was too heavy. So I'm doing research to figure out what might work better.
@@TheNerdyNovelist Have you tried a folded up towel under the mic? If the sound is coming through the base, that may help.

Great video but the keyboard typing makes it hard to pay attention... can you move the mic away from the keyboard
What I need to do is get a suspension arm. It picks up the keyboard no matter where it is on my desk.
Adding-all-the-dashes-probably doesn’t come across as a token word in the LLM. So you might be getting around word count, but messing with the llm. I would want to test that to see how it really does.
Why don’t you use the clipboard icon in OpenAI to copy that block of text? You click and drag the block instead. As someone with RSI in my wrists it makes me cringe to see that.
Haha. Force of habit.
Are you guys in your right novels fast right a novel in 10 minutes write a novel in a day. I guess you could do that or you could write a good novel, but you’re not gonna do both. It’s all Clickbait bullshit.
The only thing you're missing is what makes a book actually good.
That’s a whole series of videos right there.
That's suggestive as it also depends on oversaturation & creative input
Please explain?
That's the job of the person inputting the information to determine what's good about the work and what isn't.
