I would *definitely* be editing out the frequent giggles in the character profile. Nobody needs frequent giggling in their heroine.

Interesting to know about ISBNs, I didn't realise you don't have to have one. Is this the same with regards to print books? I always thought you needed one, especially when it comes to barcodes. Also, would you recommend starting with an ebook or print book as a knew author? Would I be better off doing both? I''m also keen for your dive into Atticus. Cheers.

at 10:00 that's a very accurate illustration of what interests readers 🤣

Kindle Unlimited is a great option for new authors, since it gives readers a chance to discover you at no cost to them. I've had KU readers sign up for my email list and go on to purchase other books of mine after reading a KU book.

Great overview of the ever-changing Amazon KDP process! Looking forward to testing some of my newer books using your advice.

Hey bro, you might wanna go into your video dashboard and check the end card because nothing showed up there.

Thank you. ❤

I tested Claude 3.5 in various contexts and, indeed, it is much better than GPT-4o. OpenAI will fall behind if it doesn't launch its best products quickly. Where is Sora? Where is the GPT-4o voice assistant that was also announced? This is concerning, as there are many promises and few real launches.

Timestamps would be incredibly beneficial for this video! 🤔 Great job otherwise! :)

Love your videos! But the choppy, stuttering, editing cuts are a bit distracting.

Question for ya: with the rapid of development of AI tools, do you think fiction and nonfiction book markets will simply become over-saturated, and only established authors will have continued success? I.E. harder and harder for new authors with so much AI content?

Can you use a free ai tool too like bing or sth? I don't really want to spend anything and adding some more on top of the novelcrafter subscription is a bit much for my broke ass

also there is a new tool on the market guaranteed to change and "FineTune" your models... it's called the Acolyte

Thanks a lot

Well @1:10:00 I thought it was a very interesitng question of how accurately Claude 3.5 can mimic someone's pros. I would love to see a follow up video testing how well it can identify and mimic writing styles of writers, because I think that's the one of the biggest complaints of using AI for writing in general, outside of the "Show, Don't Tell" issue.

I can't code past a certain point (a VERY limited point). This AI model can accomplish what I ask it to do. Usually in Python. I test it in Pydroid (on my phone), and if any error logs show up, I just copy/paste the error log back into Claude. These models (although I think Claude is the best so far), are simply amazing. We've created the self-sharpening sword.🗡️

It is amazing.

Amazing, I'm super eager for your latest release... I even spent the morning searching with "kdp" and "nerdy novelist" as keywords, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Ended up watching Dale Roberts' content instead. Brilliant as he is. I still crave a more focused knowledge on our niche of self-publishing novels - not into self-help content like his. So geeked for you key your key takeaways on succeed in this space!.

You can't dismiss Chat GPT that easily with a wave of your hand. I have used many other similar applications like ChatGPT, but all failed to help me find and work on specific areas of my writing. They often change my original text, leading to inappropriate revisions.

With how graphic some of my more violent scenes are, the AI refuses to do it, since they also go against their rules. So, learning how to get around NSFW filters, I try to think of how to adapt it to my situation. You have to understand that when it comes to my fight scenes, I like raw violence, especially when the scene is supposed to be intense.

do people actually write with only using Ai? i literally just use it for when running out of words in my mind

Agree 💯

Wow, I just subscribed ChatGPT. I think that’s one by the way side. It looks really good.

I have tried using ai to write. I have no talent and yet I knew it wasn’t anywhere near as helpful, or even competent, as the opposition would say. So many capabilities either simply missing or insufficient for anything. But even if it was, the idea that the user isn’t responsible for the story would still be wrong.

Literally only a robot would see pedestrians as “clusters” - dead giveaway.

Google the genre you want, save the values that are important and the values that make it better, print a book and then have it analyzed. The Novel Writer module in the free version of GPT 4-o can do the job, by the way, upload the latest version of the novel as a file to GPT 4-o each time before printing.

I would have loved a copy of the custom prompt you deleted at the beginning 8:18 ☺️

Why you say FREE First Lastly you are begging $$$ You are a. Cheat GPT 😂😂😂

Long live the Sci-if Beach Romance! 😂❤😮

Hey, please get back to me about this question. I developed an infographic with Claude but I would like to convert it to a word document. How do I do that? please.

Still using chatgpt after watching this video😂

Today, I used the same novel planning prompts in both Chat GPT 4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Both gave interesting replies. However, GPT replies were much more detailed. And faster.

I've been using Novelcrafter and the various LLMs to create an SF storyline, then a chapter breakdown, then chapter beats. I've asked it to use Save the Cat, Murphy's structure and The Hero's Journey for structure suggestions. The problem I've found is that all the storylines, the conflicts and the characters seem to come from some gigantic Young Adult soup, with over-dramatic situations, banal motivations and adolescent conflicts. I wouldn't expect Philip K. Dick levels of sophistication from these things, but I don't think they're close to useable yet. And the prose is the worst kind of anonymous, 1st-year writing student guff, without personality or real wit. I was initially excited by the speed and range of options produced - but that's the problem: AI produces a wide but shallow range of options. As a result of 3 weeks' playing with it, I've got a simplistic storyline and half a dozen passable characters. I've started writing the book, but I'm using only the slightest hints of situations and background from the AI results, and writing all the prose myself, which I'm happy to do. This might be a boon to self-publishers (of which I was one for 14 years till finding a publisher) but one's time might be better spent learning to write rather than learning to ask the right prompt questions. 😊

Amazon Kindle Weaver was a fictional concept introduced as an April Fool's Day joke in 2024. The idea presented was a revolutionary service allowing Kindle users to create custom novels tailored to their preferences using advanced AI. Users could select genres, styles, characters, and settings, generating personalized stories almost instantly. The joke also included a fabricated controversy about intellectual property rights, adding to the realism of the prank. The concept, while fictional, sparked interest in the possibilities of personalized reading experiences facilitated by AI​

Real Authors writes without AI...

Weird that he wouldnt have the book on his amazon list ... guess it's just video content.

What is the output limit 500 - 10k words

I've found AI does save me time in research. I write fantasy and sci/fi and used to spend HOURS of my writing time trying to find information on some obscure thing that would get two lines of a mention in my book but I couldn't move on until I got it down for little details it might affect. AI being at least surface-level interpretive allowed me to ask very specific questions (rather than searching hoping someone had written something tangentially related to what I wanted to know) and get specific answers. I haven't found much benefit in it generating the actual text, and choose not to use it for that, but research ... the research time saved is a game changer (always have to remember to check sources and not just take it at face value).

I used Claude Opus and Sonnet for my 98K manuscript. It told me it was a series of scenes, not a full novel. So, I revised. Later, I used it for a developmental edit and assessment. I revised again. Now it’s with a human editor. It definitely helped during the revision but haven’t tried it for writing a draft, not sure I want to either. That said, I was throughly impressed how it could analyze the manuscript and provide feedback regarding plot holes, character arc, pacing etc

Hi, I signed up an tested it with a question I used this week at Chatgpt and Claude Sonet failed. I asked ChatG and today, Claude Sonet, the following question "explain me the story circle plot structure developed by Dan Harmon, the creator of Rick and Morty, to create meaningful and compelling stories in almost no time to write a book" Results: ChatG gave me 8 part reply with each part carrying an explanation of each stage that made it ready to use. Meanwhile Sonet, with the same question, gave me 8-part one-liners summarized reply and asked me if I needed it to elaborate more. The Retry in Claude gave me less information than the previous request. So far, the Jury is still out on this one for me.

Hello Jason, first thank you for this very complete demonstration, then regarding your project to make a complete video on the editing and publication of a book sue Amazon KDP next Monday, could you include the complete realization of a children’s illustrated book, as you had already done for your little girl, and more specifically explain to us how to avoid a refusal of publication by Amazon KDP, because of too large a discrepancy between the slice size selected in one’s Amazon KDP account and the Content File submitted, i.e. how to give one’s artwork made with Midjourney the sufficient size with a minimum of 300 DPI, and to its file ready to be printed in PDF, the right formatting? Many thanks in advance.

I understand that UA-cam is paying better for longer videos, but there are people like me that hate to watch anything long. Even on Netflix, I watch max 30 mins episodes. So, sorry fo say this, I am not watching you lately. In a fast changing world, over one hour episode is too much.

Why does claude have characters say "And I'm the Queen of England!" every time it wants to have them express disbelief? really weird!

Is this technology going to tank the marketability of stories to quality publishers and flood the self-publish market? It has to wash out. I think writers will have to develop a personal brand more than ever.

Would love an updated video for this! Sudowrite and whoever else you want to do - now that Sudowrite has listened to you and added their own 'codex' and other things :)

Does your prompt library include all your novelcrafter prompts.

Claude is brilliant but if you're all about testing writing models I implore you to add Gemini 1.5 via Google AI Studio with filters turned off. It is absolutely, absolutely amazing. Please check it out and add to your tests against these models. It's the darkhorse for writing.

I have found recently that ChatGPT 4o is just using my prompt verbatim in the response, very frustrating. I am thinking about moving my subscription over to Claude.
