I wrote a book! It’s so exciting!
This book was born out of the PR writing classes I’m lucky enough to teach at Syracuse University. As AI further permeates our creative and work worlds, I found I needed a way to talk about writing and creativity in this new era with my students. So I wrote about it, including all of my best industry stories and ideas on what we’re currently writing about and what tools we’re writing with when we’re writing for public relations purposes.
Here’s a quick overview from the publisher:
