Write a Book Outline with AI Tools

Staring at a blank screen can be torture as an author, which is why AI can be such a great writing partner. In this video, Julie Broad of Book Launchers shares the power of using tools like ChatGPT or Dibbly Create to help you craft a compelling book outline, start to think through each chapter and what contents need to be in the chapter, and even where to get the research for the material.

Just diving in for my first time into ebooks. I didn't want AI to be the sole author of my books, so I've chosen to let it outline and provide some content...then I am able to go in and enter my own personal experiences, deleting or adjusting the AI information. I have found it to be a game changer. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hadn't heard of Dibbly, so I'll have to take a look. It seemed much more thorough.

For me, Dibbly Create appears to be the more powerful tool. I can only imagine what these tools will be like in 3-5 years. It does have me questioning what the output from the tools then will look/read like, and the impact that will have on the whole INDIE marketplace. In that regard I am concerned for the future of book writing.

I can definitely see the value in using these tools for getting started, but then by using these tools you also are using AI in the writing of the book. Right now, I have stayed away from using AI, even to do the research. However, I am considering it for my next book which will require quite substantial amount of research.

Thank you so much for this video as it does give me pause.

Julie is always right on top of the latest developments.

Very inspirational! Thank you! I really appreciate you pointing out the difference between Chat GPT and Dibbly Create. I don’t mind shelling out 22 bucks a month and will surely starting getting my nonfiction work out there this year! Thanks again! 😊

Dibly Create for writing a book seems like the clear winner. Again, you are on the top of your game, presenting clear information every self-publishing needs to be aware of. Troy could use it for his plan to write chapter E-books. 🎉 Thanks, Julie.

This is an excellent comparison; thank you for doing this. I have now heard from several folks that Dibbly Create is outstanding, and you may have shown us why. Top-notch work, as usual!

I appreciate the balanced perspective on using AI in writing.

Hey Julie thank you for giving us such valuable information. I'm so new to AI and I needed this.

I vote two thumbs way up for you writing this book, Julie! I also vote for it being titled Finding Your Book's Soulmates with a possible subtitle of How to Market Your Book Using Other People's Audiences. 😉

I like that these AI tools are available to authors, and I think it would be a lot of fun to play around with them, but after three books (and the fourth in progress) I know my writing process pretty well by now and I really lean more Pantser than Plotter. I always have a clear idea of what I want to write, the audience, the education objectives, the format, etc., etc., etc., but taking time to work that all out, plus more, in an outline that's in addition to the book makes me lose my zeal for writing the damn thing. I need to work things out in the actual writing of the book and in the editing process, not in the preliminaries.

Although these AI tools do the actual writing out of "the preliminaries, " and a very good job of it too, I'm certain that, if I used them, the outcome would be the same for me. Writing is thinking and I lean into that by actually writing the book instead of thinking it all out ahead of time in another form. Even so, these are definitely cool tools for those whose writing process includes more detailed outlining than mine does, or for those who need writing inspiration, , so thank you for the visual test drive and hours of commitment! 🙂

You mentioned something to the effect that if I use AI to write the book, I lose intellectual property rights. Can you explain that a bit more? Say I use AI to create the outline, shape the structure, and suggest some of the style and grammar, but do the rest myself. Would I still have 100% ownership of the book? Thanks in advance.

How to write a book with AI tools: dont. Anyone who does is just lazy and cares more about making money than actually creating a true piece of art
