Hey there - I'm Derek Murphy. I'm a fine artist who became a book cover designer, then started writing young adult scifi and fantasy. I've spent almost 20 years living abroad, have a PhD in comparative literature (revolutionary politics in Paradise Lost), and have been featured in CNN for renting castles to use as writing retreats. Although I'm not working with clients anymore, I've built a ton of resources to help indie authors write, design and publish bestselling books.
On this channel, I talk about writing, publishing and creating personal freedom with unconventional business strategies and providing value. My videos are unpolished and a little raw, because we travel full-time and I focus on content, not production quality.

Thank you! ❤

Claude sonnet copies your style pretty well. I use it via Novelcrafter. Often I will ask for ai to add micro tension and deepen pivot in scenes I have written. At a minimum it gives me fixing ideas. I don’t adopt all the edits, just pick and choose and add to it.

I just got to the end if the video. Note that novel crafter keeps track of characters over a series.

Thank you for putting this together. As a new writer I appreciate this information on how to save money on the editing steps.

[@blinkofaneye4451]

GPT turbo will take in a lot more words. I still would do it a scene at a time thought.
