AI Usage Policy

How I Use AI

  • You are working directly with me, Molly Seabrook.

  • I use AI extensively, primarily for business administration, including market research about your book.

  • I do not use AI for concepting book covers or image creation.

  • Everything that reaches you has been read, judged, and approved by me.

Security & Privacy

  • At the outset of our work together, we share an NDA as part of the Strategic Publishing Diagnostic.

  • All of the AI tools that I use are paid, professional accounts set to the highest privacy and security settings. No content is exposed to LLM training.

Does Credible Ink accept AI-assisted manuscripts?

  • It depends. This is part of why we developed the Strategic Publishing Diagnostic. Your manuscript is read by both a librarian and an editor, because working with AI-assisted manuscripts is a weird, new, hard-to-describe challenge.

  • They are often technically correct, and disappointingly flat. The editorial work to get back the thing that makes them human, interesting, and readable is difficult to estimate.

  • I think my answer to this question will remain, "It depends," for quite some time.
