← Back home The human-made guarantee

Every word here was written by a person.

That person is me. No generative AI touches the creative work I deliver. Not the draft, not the idea underneath it.

AI Usage Policy · Last updated June 2026

The whole policy, up front

I write for a living, so I have a stake in this that goes past a checkbox on a contract. The entire value of hiring me is that a specific person, with fifteen years of taste and a point of view, sits down and makes the thing. Here is exactly how that work gets done, and where I draw the line.

The pledge / Four hard lines

What you will never get from me.

When a headline, a homepage, an email sequence, or a campaign platform leaves my desk, these four promises come with it. No exceptions, no quiet asterisks.

Generated copy

No AI-written words

I do not paste your brief into a chatbot and tidy up what comes back. Every sentence starts as a blank page and a human decision.

Generated ideas

No outsourced thinking

The concept, the angle, the structure of the argument: that is the actual job. I do not hand it to a model trained on everyone else's work.

Synthetic media

No fake imagery or audio

Nothing AI-generated gets passed off as original creative. If a project needs visuals or sound, I source them honestly and tell you where they came from.

Invented facts

No hallucinated research

When I cite something, I have read the source. I do not let a model invent a statistic and hope nobody checks.

A model reaches for the most expected word. Expected is the opposite of memorable.
Why hand-made still wins
An honest line

Where software ends and writing begins.

Tools I use, like any writer
  • A spell-checker that flags my typos
  • Analytics that tell me which line won the test
  • A search engine to find a report I then read myself
  • A grammar checker catching a missing comma at midnight
Work that stays mine, always
  • Deciding what the sentence should actually say
  • The concept, the angle, the order of the argument
  • The voice that makes it sound like one person who means it
  • Every word that lands on the final page
The bottom line

A person writes the words. The person is accountable for them.

Your material stays yours

Your brief, your data, your unreleased plans: none of it gets pasted into a third-party AI tool to be stored, surfaced, or used to train a model. Confidentiality holds before any NDA is signed.

And you can always check

Ask, and I will show my work: the messy middle drafts, the thinking behind a choice, the trail of revisions. Real writing leaves receipts, and I keep mine.
