I'll be honest. I was worried about AI.

Not worried it would take my job—
worried it would take my voice.

I tried the tools that generate chapters. The words came fast. But they didn't sound like me. The story felt hollow. And I spent more time editing robotic prose than I would have just writing it myself.

Then I found a different approach.

Ask Susie May doesn't write a single word of my novel. Not one.

She asks questions. She listens. She helps me find what's already inside me.

The breakthroughs are mine. The voice is mine. The book is mine.

That's the difference between an AI that writes for you
and an AI that makes you better

Ask Susie May - A Different Kind of AI

powered by Novel Academy

Your Personal Writing Mentor, Available 24/7

AskSusieMay is the AI coaching companion that helps you become a better writer—not a more dependent one.

Tired of Generic AI Advice That Doesn't "Get" Your Writing Journey?

You've seen AI tools generate chapters in seconds. Generic prose. Hollow words that technically exist but mean nothing.

That's not what you need.

You need someone who listens. Who asks the question you've been avoiding. Who helps you see what you already know but couldn't quite reach.

You've tried ChatGPT, Claude, maybe even Grok. Impressive tools. But they don't know YOU. They don't know YOUR method. And they definitely don't understand how to help inspirational authors build sustainable writing careers.

Generic AI sounds appealing—stuck on a scene? Generate it. Can't figure out your plot? Let the machine solve it.

But here's what actually happens:

The words don't sound like you. Your story drifts from your vision. You spend hours editing prose that never felt right. You stop feeling like the author of your own book.

Worse? You don't get better. You just become dependent on a tool that produces mediocre content faster.

Readers feel it. Agents smell it. And deep down, you know it too.


Ask Susie May isn't just an AI. It's like having Susan May Warren in your pocket, ready to answer your toughest writing questions anytime, anywhere.

And, AskSusieMay won't write a single sentence of your novel. Not one.

Instead, she coaches. She asks questions. She listens. She reflects back what you're saying until suddenly—you see it. The answer that was there all along.

She'll ask things like: What does your character really want beneath the surface? Why does this scene feel stuck—what's missing? What are you afraid to put on the page? What if the obstacle came from inside your protagonist instead of outside?

When the breakthrough comes, it's yours. Because it was always yours. She just helped you see it.

Your Voice, Protected

Your voice is your superpower. It's the weird, specific, only-you way you see the world.

It's what makes your book worth reading.

AskSusieMay protects your voice by never replacing it.

Every word you publish after working with her is authentically yours.

When readers fall in love with your book, they're falling in love with you. Not an algorithm.

Ask Susie May is one of those writing tools that every author needs. I used Ask Susie May to help create my characters using the SEQ, plot out my book using the LINDY HOP, and as I wrote, Ask Susie May helped me focus on the beats that were essential to my story. Ask Susie May doesn’t write scenes for me, but it asks questions that makes me think of the right answer. Every resource I’ve learned through My Book Therapy has helped me become a better writer. Ask Susie May is helping me take my writing to the next level.

Lisa Jordan - best-selling, award-winning multi-published author

I would recommend it to other writers in a heartbeat. With one caveat—they really have to want to learn to write a better story and not just have AI write for them. Learners will love this platform. I think this is a true selling point of AskSusie. Writers who worry that AI take over their stories but want the benefit of AI will LOVE this. One of the most important benefits to AskSusieMay is trust. The user can trust this AI because it is only trained on Susie May’s IP. The only objective of this program is to help you write a better story. That’s it. You don’t have to worry about what the AI is doing with your story and ideas because it is not open to the universe. This takes all the concerns many writers have about using AI off the table.

Wendy Galinetti - multi-published author

Yes, absolutely, I would recommend this tool to other writers. In my opinion, writers who are capable of writing a complete manuscript will find the tool more helpful than those who have not yet finished a manuscript. Also, writers who have a basic understanding of methods taught through My Book Therapy/Novel Academy might on board more quickly than a writer who does not use terms such as 'SEQ' or 'The Story Equation' or think about the person in the mirror/midpoint moment of their story.

Heidi McCahan - multi-published author

I would use this every day if I had the opportunity. It’s like having a writing buddy, and it fills a need for me in real time. The way it gives me things to think about, asks me questions, and reminds me of things I have been taught over the years in MBT are a dream. I really don’t want to be without this tool. I would highly recommend it. I LOVE it. I’m now a very enthusiastic fan.

Hi. I'm Susan May Warren. I started writing while I lived in Siberia (yes, you heard that right--cold, snowy, Siberia). Alone. No one to help me, overwhelmed and not a little discouraged. Twenty-five years later, I've published over 100 books in five different genres, have landed on numerous bestseller lists (including USA Today), won the RITA, CHRISTY and CAROL awards (and others) and started a school for novelists.
I've learned a few things along the way (beyond techniques on how to stay warm in the tundra!) Most importantly I learned that if I wanted to be published, I had to figure out how to write a book, how to edit it, how to step back from my stories, look at them with a critical eye, figure out what a good manuscript looks like, and then use my unique voice to make that happen.
Not only that, but I learned how to market my books, and strategize to build an amazing career.
Would you let me help you do the same? Join like-minded writers who are on the journey with you, and let's do this!
