What does AI mean for writers?

When artificial intelligence came into the picture, many of us felt unsettled. For writers, it hit a little differently. We began to question our place, wondering if our words would still matter in a world where machines can string sentences together in seconds. There was fear that people might stop seeing the soul in our work, assuming everything we write came from a bot.

But here is what I know to be true: no machine can feel the things we carry inside. It cannot write about heartbreak, healing, or hope the way a human can. It cannot capture the quiet strength in vulnerability or the way joy sits gently in small, ordinary moments.

The future is already here, yes. And while we must learn, adapt, and stay open, we must also hold onto the one thing that sets us apart, our humanity. Writing will always matter, because people still need to feel. They still need to be seen, heard, and held by the stories we tell.

Keep writing. From the heart. That is where the real magic lives. Allow Royal Bookstore to bring your stories to life!
