Books in the “She Writes AI Everywhere” Series (Current and Future)
Like everything else in this SheWritesAI publication, our books are made possible and kept free for all participants thanks to the generosity of our subscribers and supporters. Please help us support them and their writing in return, however you can:
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. Both ebook and print editions are now available on Amazon and from your favorite booksellers and ebook platforms. An abridged audiobook edition is also in the works. See the Book1 detail page or the book website at aiEverywhereBooks.com for more information about this book.
AI Everywhere, Volume 1: How Women Are Changing The World With Artificial Intelligence
This is our first collaborative book, written by 26 women and nonbinary writers in the She Writes AI directory who represent 14 countries. This page has information for current authors and for those curious about what’s in the book.
Book 2. Working title: “AI Everywhere, Book2”
As of June 9, 2026, 32 co-authors representing 18 countries have written 30 chapters for Book2. The chapters are in review and editing and production work is underway. We plan to launch these chapters in three new volumes on Ada Lovelace Day (October 13, 2026) with deliveries starting on November 1.
We are currently seeking volunteer beta readers to receive a free advance copy of the ebook and share an ARC review. Please get in touch if you can help to support the production team with design, marketing, etc.
AI Everywhere, Book2
Book2 is our second book collaboration in the She Writes AI Everywhere series. Authors are women and nonbinary writers from the She Writes AI community.
Book 3. Working title: “AI Everywhere, Book3”
We expect to set the chapter list for Book3 volume(s) by the end of June 2026 for 2027 publication. The chapter list may be closed sooner if the cohort is “filled” early. Chapter proposals are in development. If you’re interested, get in touch.
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.
“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.
Topics for new books must be distinct from topics covered in earlier volumes, or must provide an update of clear value that addresses what has changed in the world of AI since the earlier chapter was published.
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 expected to be in the range 2500-4500 words.
See the Guidelines for details on chapter scope, audience, prerequisites, references, and more.

Book3 chapter proposers: The call for chapter proposal opened on June 1. Each proposer needs to submit a ‘pitch deck’: about 75-80 words on your chapter topic, and an author bio of about 75-80 words.
