The Ethical Author: Using AI to Get Seen Without Losing Your Soul

Dr. Rhonda M. Lawson teaches authors how to protect their intellectual property while increasing their visibility in AI searches. LITERATURE, LUNCH, & LEARN You wrote the book. Now the algorithms need to find it, but you didn't spend months pouring your story onto the page just to hand your voice over to a chatbot. In this hands-on workshop, Dr. Rhonda M. Lawson will show you how to use AI tools to grow your visibility — from optimizing your book's discoverability to building a promotional system that works while you write. And we'll do it the right way: you keep your copyright, your creative control, and the voice that makes your work yours. You'll leave with: A practical AI visibility toolkit you can start using today; Strategies for getting found in AI-powered search; and Guardrails that protect your authorship, your IP, and your integrity.
