A member sent her chapter to a developmental editor, then ran the same chapter through an AI editing tool. The two gave her opposite advice. So who was right? In this episode on AI book editing for Christian writers, we share the surprising answer and what she needed to do next.
Shelley walks through the seven-step self-editing process we have taught for years, no AI required: spell check, double spaces, crutch words, reading out loud, having it read back to you, printing it, and adding emotion. Then she tests our Self-Editing Companion in both ChatGPT and Claude on a piece of her own writing, and talks through the differences.
CJ shares three questions every suggested edit has to pass: Does it still sound like me? Does it change what God gave me to say? Is it true?
We also cover where a human editor still fits, why you pay for editing with either your time or your money, and what to know about the invisible watermark AI tools are starting to add to the text they generate. This is episode three of our three-part series on AI for Kingdom Writers.
