    Can You Write a Good Book with AI?

    The Book Labs Podcast with Derek Lewis & John Willis

    With so many tools now available, more people are asking: Can AI help me write a book? In this episode, Derek Lewis and John Willis explore that question from both practical and personal perspectives.

    Drawing from their own experience writing books like Rebels of Reason and Deming’s Journey to Profound Knowledge, they share how AI can support the creative process—and why it’s not a replacement for a strong Method or clear intent.

    You'll hear:

    • Why a proven process like the Frankendraft™ Method is still essential

    • Where AI tools fit into each stage of nonfiction book development

    • How AI can help with research, voice experimentation, and revision

    • The role of personal insight, context, and story in creating a meaningful book

    • Real examples of how AI improved efficiency—without replacing human judgment

    Whether you're writing your first book or looking to refine your process with new tools, this episode offers a thoughtful take on how AI can complement, not replace, the craft of authorship.
