I am thrilled to finally announce a project that I have been working on with Simon & Schuster for the past year:
Whether you’re a young writer looking for tips, a teacher hoping to educate your students about creative writing, or a homeschooler looking for some fun new lessons, Mission: Write should appeal to you. There are currently six videos (with more coming in the future) hosted by me — and accompanying lesson plans written by the brilliant educator, Rose Brock.
Best of all, it’s free! So take a look for yourself. Just click here to watch and learn!

Hi Mr. Gibbs,
First of all, thank you for the joy and curiosity your books spark in readers.
I am curious to ask: What are your thoughts on using AI in your creative process? Some authors worry that AI might dilute their unique voice. On the flip side, it could also be a tool to help you create more stories, faster, reaching even more readers: something that seems in line with your broader mission: to intrigue, delight, and inspire through storytelling.
Do you feel AI enhances or threatens that purpose?

I absolutely loathe the idea of using AI in my work. I am perfectly capable of coming up with ideas on my own and feel that anything AI could do would be a mediocre version of what I do, and if it can in any way approximate my writing style, that is only because my works were used without my permission to train it.
I know there are writers who use it, but I will not.
