    Write & Publish Your Expert Book Faster Using AI with Cary Richards
    Aug 11 2026
    If you're an expert, coach, or consultant who has been putting off writing a book, this episode cuts straight to the solution. Cary Richards — veteran self-publisher, digital marketer, and co-founder of InfoStack — joins Chuck Anderson to reveal how AI-powered tools are making it faster and easier than ever for experts to publish a high-quality nonfiction book that builds real authority.Cary shares his journey from corporate sales burnout to self-publishing success, and breaks down the critical difference between lazy AI-generated content and genuinely useful AI-assisted book creation. He introduces BookRaven, an AI-powered publishing platform designed specifically for nonfiction experts who want to get their message out without sacrificing quality.If you're searching for how to write a nonfiction book quickly, how to use AI in book writing without producing generic content, or how self-publishing can grow your coaching or consulting business, this episode answers all of it. A must-listen for any expert ready to turn their knowledge into a published book that opens doors.Q&A SECTIONQ: How can I use AI to write a nonfiction book without it sounding generic?A: Use AI as a structured writing assistant, not a content generator. Tools like BookRaven guide you through a proper book framework so the AI captures your expertise and voice — rather than producing the generic 'AI slop' that comes from dumping a vague prompt into ChatGPT.Q: Why should a coach or consultant write a book?A: A book is still the single most credible authority tool available to experts. It gets your message in front of people who would never find you otherwise, builds instant trust, and creates a scalable way to deliver your expertise — without trading more hours for dollars.Q: How long does it take to publish a nonfiction book using AI tools?A: With the right AI-powered framework, experts are completing and publishing quality nonfiction books in a fraction of the traditional time — weeks rather than years — because the AI handles structure, drafting, and refinement while you focus on your unique insights.Q: What is the difference between BookRaven and just using ChatGPT to write a book?A: BookRaven is purpose-built software with an embedded book framework, not a prompt wrapper. ChatGPT without structure produces unfocused, generic content. BookRaven guides your inputs so the output reflects your actual expertise, voice, and intended reader — saving significant editing time.Q: Is self-publishing still a viable option for building expert authority in 2024?A: Absolutely. Self-publishing gives experts full creative control, faster time to market, and better royalty rates than traditional publishing. Platforms like Amazon have made it easier than ever to reach a global audience, and AI tools are now removing the biggest barrier: actually finishing the book.Q: How has AI changed the self-publishing and digital education industry?A: AI disrupted the digital course and bundle market significantly around 2023, making commodity content abundant and cheap. But it also opened a new opportunity: experts who use AI strategically to publish well-structured, insight-rich books now stand out more than ever in a sea of generic content.Q: What kind of expert is best suited to write a nonfiction book right now?A: Any coach, consultant, or subject-matter expert with a repeatable framework, a defined audience, and a transformation to offer. If you have a process that gets people results, that process is a book — and AI tools now make it practical to publish it without hiring a ghostwriter or taking a year off.QUOTES"It isn't just a bunch of prompts that we put into ChatGPT and have it write a book — you end up with AI slop, and you'd spend as much or more time fixing it than writing it yourself." — Cary Richards"I started writing short nonfiction books and publishing them on Amazon — and that was the beginning of understanding how powerful your own expertise can be when it's packaged the right way." — Cary Richards"When we pivot in a business, we don't throw everything away. We keep the parts that are still working and fill the gaps with something new." — Chuck Anderson"Both Tom and I had backgrounds in self-publishing, so when the bundle business shifted, we already knew where the real opportunity was — helping experts get their knowledge into a book." — Cary RichardsWas this episode helpful?Please leave us a review and subscribe to the show to be notified of future episodes.Until next time, keep moving forward!Chuck Anderson,Affiliate Management Expert + Investor + Mentorhttps://AffiliateManagementExpert.com/
