500 Words is a letter that I send to subscribers just about every week.

500 Words starts with a personal essay about what’s top of mind for me. Also, I read up on everything happening in AI (so you don’t have to) and summarize it for you in a feature called INTERROGATING AI. I focus on our choices around artificial intelligence and the way forward from a human perspective.

Then I write about masterclasses I’m launching, books I’m publishing, and podcasts about storytelling that you’ll want to catch. From time to time, I’ll offer serialized fiction designed for email.
