AI Everywhere, Book3
Book3 will be our third book collaboration cohort in the She Writes AI Everywhere series. Authors will be women and nonbinary writers from the She Writes AI community. Here are Book1 and Book2; also see our book website, aiEverywhereBooks.com., for details on all volumes published and coming soon.
Series Concept
Broad coverage of AI and data for people of any gender who are wondering, what about AI in the workplace, education, healthcare, etc.? Technical how-to chapters are also included. The goal is to highlight the voices of women and nonbinary people on AI and data. Intersectional and global viewpoints are especially encouraged.
Series Guidelines
See the She Writes AI Book guidelines page for guidelines that apply to all books in the She Writes AI Everywhere series.
Book3 Chapter Plan
Book3 opened for chapter proposals on June 1, 2026. SheWritesAI subscribers and people on the interest list have been notified. In support of our goal for this book series to represent writers worldwide, we will again actively seek women and nonbinary writers from outside the USA, and particularly in the Global South.
Interested in potentially participating as an author for Book3? Please get in touch ASAP before the call for proposals closes at the end of June:

What’s Next?
Book3 chapter authors: Everyone on the interest list has been added to a private workspace/newsletter/chat group. The first deliverable is a proposal ‘pitch deck’ slide, due in June 2026.
A Google Slide template will be provided for authors to use for the proposals. After you confirm your interest and proposals are opened, Karen Smiley will create the empty file in our workspace and DM you the link.
You (and your chapter co-author, if you intend to have one) request Editor access from the Google account(s) you want to use for Book3 stuff. Karen will approve your access request(s).
You write your proposal on the slide: 60-80 words on your proposed topic, and a bio of 40-80 words. (Texts must fit within the boxes on the slide without changing the box sizes or the font.) Include a square photo that will fit well within a circle frame on the book website. Tag or DM when you are ready for Karen or the editor to review it. They may add questions or comments.
A good chapter proposal will be based on your own experiences with using AI and include a takeaway that states how your intended audience will benefit from reading the chapter.
If you have more than one chapter idea you’d like to explore, clone the template slide in the file and write up your additional ideas. As a rule, only one chapter per author will be included in a given volume. Additional ideas may be carried over to a later volume.
If you would like to also publish your chapter in a second language in addition to English, please note that on your slide. (This will be new for us; it’s not guaranteed that it will be possible, but we’re exploring it.)
If there are strong overlaps with other already-committed Book3 chapters, we may defer your chapter or ask you to consider adjusting your proposed scope.
We will confirm if the chapter will be planned for Volume 3.
A Word template will be provided for authors to use for the book chapters. (Alternately, we may try a collaboration tool to streamline coordination of edits and reviews.)
Future tasks and updates on deadlines for the project will be posted in the private chat group or sent via email.
Launch supporters and ARC review volunteers: Thank you in advance for your interest! Please fill in the form, then DM us and/or join the subscriber chat 😊
