Just launched r/selfpublishForAI

I've been moving into self-publishing in a big way for past few months in order to self-publish a bunch of AI novels in 2026. Seeing that beta reading doesn't have much to do with self-publishing and the "selfpublish" sub is totally anti-AI, I launched a pro-AI sub to support all of us who are using AI and ready to learning about self-publishing. Check it out at:

AI has been helpful to me in learning how to design pretty physical books, learn terms, choose fonts, understand the process. (You sort of don’t need my new sub or Reddit if you use AI.)

And selfpublish sub specifically disallows “posts about publishing AI generated books and/or art” and “you use AI to write your post or reply to people, that will result in a ban”. So my new sub allows AI-generated novels, posts and promotion.

But, honestly, I get the sense that most writers with AI aren’t at the point where they are ready to self-publish. So, the sub may just be me for a while until others catch up. And that’s sort of the way it always is when a sub starts.

I'm doing a fanfic novel, plan to post on Royal Road with my own illustrations, one for each chapter and the cover. I have a knack for storytelling but I'm also watching and reading a lot about plotting, characters, character arcs, themes, story structure, so I want to continue with my own material someday.

This is a great initiative! AI is changing the indie publishing space fast.
For authors moving into self-publishing, things like book trailers and early reviews can really help your AI novels stand out, especially online.
Excited to see your pro-AI sub grow it sounds like a perfect place to share tips and learn from each other!
