Sean Dollwet · How to Write a Book with AI in 2026 (Full Step-By-Step Tutorial) ↗
You research nonfiction topics that already sell on Amazon, write a book with AI help, and publish it through Amazon KDP as an ebook, paperback or hardcover that Amazon prints only when someone orders. The video walks through filtering for books under 30,000 Best Sellers Rank with fewer than 100 reviews, picking a narrower angle (such as a 5-minute social-confidence book for anxious adults), building an author persona and outline, and generating chapters section by section. You then edit the draft, add your own stories, and create the cover, back cover, Amazon description and A+ product-page graphics. Income is royalties from each copy sold.
The creator says he has published books for over 10 years and that AI removes the slowest, most expensive step, which used to be paying ghostwriters. He argues that validating demand first (books selling well with few reviews) avoids writing on topics nobody buys, and that Amazon's print-on-demand model means there is no inventory risk.
People who enjoy researching and editing nonfiction and are willing to add real personal experience to an AI draft. It suits patient builders more than anyone needing quick income.
The video is mainly a tutorial for Co-author, which the creator openly says is his own software; he includes a link and QR code, so his recommendation is not neutral, and he admits experienced writers could do the writing with Claude alone. Royalty figures shown for other people's books are tool estimates, not verified earnings. Amazon is crowded with AI-assisted books, so the editing and the personal angle he stresses matter a lot. KDP is free to join, but expect to publish several books before seeing steady income.
