Let’s address the elephant in the room…
AI. It’s advancing at an astonishing rate, and is a huge topic in many industries nowadays. Type anything into an AI service and you’ll instantly see results.
We have to acknowledge that AI is here to stay, for better or for worse. But what’s becoming more evident in the industry of writing (and editing) is this: AI cannot do it all. It can’t replace the human touch writing and editing needs.
At Midnight Muse Edits, we don’t use AI when editing manuscripts for debut authors, seasoned authors, and writers. We don’t want our work inserted and saved in an AI bot, so why would we do that to our thriving and hard-working community of writers?
