Artificial intelligence is everywhere—fueling headlines, sparking debate, and shaping how stories are created and shared. While some authors approach it with caution, others are already discovering how large language models can act as powerful creative allies.

She breaks down the differences between AI, generative AI, and emerging agent-based tools, giving you a clear, practical foundation without the jargon.
