Books in the “She Writes AI Everywhere” Series (Current and Future)
Book 1. “AI Everywhere, Volume 1: How Women Are Changing The World With Artificial Intelligence”
Book1 features 24 chapters by 26 authors from 14 countries across five continents. The ebook was published on International Women’s Day, March 8, 2026. It is available at the intro price of US$4.99 via mybook.to/aieverywhere1 (universal link). Print editions are now also available on Amazon (paperback, hardcover - universal links). See the Book1 detail page or the book website at aiEverywhereBooks.com for more information about this book.
Book 2. Working title: “AI Everywhere, Volume 2”
As of April 5, 2026, our chapter list for Book2 is closed and writing has started. Our plan includes 34 chapters by 36 authors representing 17 countries. The plan is to publish Volume 2 on Ada Lovelace Day (October 13, 2026). Please get in touch if you can help to support the production team with ARC reviews, marketing, etc.
Book 3. Working title: “AI Everywhere, Volume 3”
We expect to set the chapter list for Volume 3 in September for 2027 publication. The chapter list may be closed sooner if the volume is “filled” early. Several authors have already expressed interest in contributing to Volume 3, and some chapter proposals are in development. If you’re interested, get in touch.
“AI Everywhere” Series Concept
Broad coverage of AI and data for people of any gender who are wondering, “What about AI in <topic>?” where the topic might be any of workplace, education, healthcare, etc. Chapters could also cover how-to topics.
A key goal of the series is to amplify the voices of women and nonbinary people on AI and data. Each volume in the series is expected to be a kaleidoscope of views of AI topics from writers all over the world.
Author Eligibility
Anyone in the SheWritesAI directory (or who meets the criteria and can be added) can potentially be a chapter author. Authors are expected to have already published several longer articles about their AI-related topic on Substack. For ‘new’ authors who have recently migrated their writing to Substack, articles on another site (e.g. LinkedIn, Medium, Wordpress) count; just provide links.
Topics of Interest
Chapter topics must be about AI and data. Inclusion of under-represented, intersectional, and global viewpoints is especially encouraged, but not required.
For any given book in the series, the goal is to not have more than one chapter on the same topic. (So if you want to write about a specific topic, get in touch sooner than later, before someone else commits on that topic.) Length may vary for each book, but in general, chapters are likely to be in the range 2500-4500 words.
See the Guidelines for details on chapter scope, audience, prerequisites, references, and more.

What’s Next?
Book1 chapter authors and contributors: Our book is released - congratulations! Updates will be posted to the private Google Chat workspace and the chapter authors mailing list.
Book1 launch supporters: Thank you for your support! We are still seeking reviewers and marketing support. Please DM us and/or join the subscriber chat 😊
Book2 chapter authors: See the schedule on the book2 page. Time to start writing! Join the Google workspace and the authors2 mailing list, and DM Karen Smiley with any questions.
Book3 chapter proposers: It’s early, but you’re welcome to work with us on your ‘pitch deck’ proposal: about 75-80 words on your chapter topic, and an author bio of about 75-80 words. See the guidelines. DM Karen if you would like to be included on the interest list, when you are ready to discuss an idea, or if you have a concern. The tentative goal is to have the Volume 3 chapter list ‘filled’ by June 30.
