Exploring the Power of AI in Writing with Greg McQueen [S4 E7]

  • Resumen

  • Welcome to a new episode of the Business Book Bites podcast! Today, Karen Williams, The Book Mentor, is joined by Greg McQueen, a former TV writer turned ghostwriter and AI writing specialist.

    Greg brings a unique perspective to writing, blending decades of storytelling expertise with a deep curiosity for AI and technology. With a background shaped by his successful writer father—who worked on the renowned series The Bill—Greg grew up immersed in the world of television writing. His career has since evolved from screenwriting to ghostwriting nonfiction, where he now helps professionals turn their expertise into impactful books.

Whether you’re new to AI or already experimenting with it, this episode is packed with insights to help you make the most of these evolving technologies in your writing process.
