MARLBOROUGH – Longtime Marlborough resident, Sheryl Lindsell-Roberts recently
celebrated the publication of her new book entitled “Business Writing with AI.”
Roberts is a well-known and award winning author with over 25 publications under her belt so far. Her latest book tackles topics such as using artificial intelligence technology to your advantage when applying it to various forms of business writing.
In a world threatened by the power and influence of AI, Roberts decided to befriend the software instead.
While watching advancements of AI from afar, curiosity began to engulf her and she decided to take matters into her own hands. Roberts began to dabble with the AI software named ChatGPT. Her first prompt with ChatGPT was “give me a few witty lines about a humble cup of coffee.”
To her surprise, the AI software quickly answered fwith an amusingly well-written response.
“That was my first foray into the world of AI. It was soon thereafter that I was dipping, not just one toe in the water, but both feet. Now, two books later I view AI as my trusted writing sidekick,” said Roberts.
Mixing her background is the business and marketing field with her newfound knowledge and appreciation of AI, Roberts has curated a step-by-step guide for writers to work alongside AI instead of against it. This book is separated into 5 parts entitled Harnessing the Potential of AI in Business Writing, The Write Stuff, Writing Click-Worthy E-Content, Crafting Noteworthy Professional Documents and Producing Personalized and Targeted Writing.
Roberts believes that AI is the new wave when it comes to any form of writing. She views it as a valuable tool and hopes that her new book can give readers insight into how to share a professional and platonic relationship with the software.
“I hope they learn to respect AI for what it brings and not try to claim it as their own. It’s a book that gives you inspiration and a reason to try AI. As well as, a reason to remember that writers’ intelligence is still the most important part of any writing,” she said.
Following in the footsteps of her latest book on AI and business writing, Roberts is now
finalizing a new book surrounding the topic of AI and Grant Proposal Writing.
Her new book is set to be published by December of this year.
