I’ve written and co-written six books, and let me tell you, every one was hell.

Even though I’ve made a career of writing, and have been at this miserable profession for more than four decades, every word is still torture.

Actually, that’s not quite true. The new AI tools help — a lot.

There’s nothing better than plugging a prompt into an AI and getting a great response back. The response often makes a great starting point for what you want to say.

I try to use AI sparingly, and always heavily edit what it spits out (often because AI writing is distinctly awful or bland) but it’s way better than staring hopelessly at a blank page.

If you’ve ever harbored the ambition to write your own book (which can easily be uploaded and sold as an eBook on Amazon), take a look at Youbooks, a book writing AI.

Youbooks is able to tap into multiple AI tools, analyze your own documents or transcripts, and access the latest stats and facts to keep things current.

Heck, where was this when I was sobbing over my last manuscript?

A message from Pacaso

The key to a $1.3T opportunity

A new trend in real estate is making the most expensive properties obtainable. It’s called co-ownership, and it’s revolutionizing the $1.3T vacation home market.

The company leading the trend? Pacaso. Created by the founder of Zillow, Pacaso turns underutilized luxury properties into fully-managed assets and makes them accessible to the broadest possible market.

The result? More than $1b in transactions, 2,000+ happy homeowners, and over $110m in gross profits for Pacaso.

With rapid international growth and 41% gross profit growth last year, Pacaso is ready for what’s next. They even recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

But the real opportunity is now, before public markets. Until 5/29, you can join leading investors like SoftBank and Maveron for just $2.80/share.

This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.

Want to write a book? This specialized AI makes it easy

This AI tool makes writing nonfiction books incredibly easy.

Youbooks is a new AI book writer that combines popular AI models like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to help you create full nonfiction books. A lifetime subscription just went on sale for $49 (regularly $540).

How does Youbooks AI write your book?

If you ever tried writing anything longer than a few hundred words with ChatGPT, you know how disjointed AI can get with long-form text. The AI Writing Tools in Apple Intelligence probably won’t knock your socks off, either.

Youbooks does things differently. The AI book writer taps into multiple models to create nuanced, coherent manuscripts up to 300,000 words long. That leaves you plenty of room to dive into the nitty gritty of your chosen niche.

Research is an important part of nonfiction writing, and Youbooks can help with that, too. The built-in research tool pulls in current facts and statistics to help keep your content up to date.

You also can upload your own research, documents and transcripts. The AI book writer then weaves all that into the manuscript for a more personalized, fact-grounded result.

Adjust your tone and writing style

With Youbooks, you can fully customize your writing tone and style. Whether you want an academic voice, conversational tone or something in between, the AI book writer can match it. You can even store up to 100 style samples to help shape future projects.

For creators worried about rights, Youbooks offers another key benefit: You keep full commercial ownership. That means you’re free to publish, distribute or sell your book however you like, with no extra licensing fees or royalties to worry about.

The lifetime deal includes 150,000 monthly credits, which cover both writing output and uploaded source material. You’ll also gain access to upcoming feature updates.

And when it’s time to deliver, Youbooks lets you download documents in DOCX, EPUB, PDF and Markdown formats.
