AI-Proof Your Story gives you 8 practical techniques to make your speculative fiction sound like someone speaking from your world.

Read it in 45 minutes. Rewrite a scene tonight.

Speculative (or SFF) readers demand originality in worldbuilding and magic or tech systems. They expect the same originality in the prose they read.

Read AI-Proof Your Story in one sitting. Try out the techniques on your writing, and your next story will feel lived in.

Shaped in Oxford writing workshops and shared on panels at WorldCon, Eastercon, and FantasyCon.


See What Human Sounds Like on the Page

Example A:

Before (flat, generic, and AI):

“He leaned in and kissed her. It was soft and clumsy.”

After (full of human emotion):

“One wrong move in this gravity and they’d both float off the bench. He leant in… careful, careful… and took one breath of her recycled-honeysuckle scent before his lips brushed hers.”

Example B:

Before (All AI and no humanity):

The shuttle launched into the sky. She gripped her seat, nervous but excited. The stars were bright outside the window.

After (Packed with humanity):

The shuttle’s engines roared, and her body smacked into her seat as her stomach tried to stay on Earth. Her nails dug into the marks a thousand earlier passengers had scored into the armrest’s plastic. Finally, finally, she forced herself to grin at the crooked smear of a continent sliding past her window.

See the difference?

That’s the difference between readers saying ‘that’s technically fine’, and ‘I felt that.’

Editors notice this lived-in texture in the first ten seconds.

You get more attention, more page reads, and more sales.

The Problem: All Fiction Is Starting to Sound the Same

Scroll through any writing contest, AI story feed, or submission pile, and you’ll hear it. Perfect grammar. Smooth rhythm. And zero pulse.

AI didn’t invent lifeless writing, but it multiplied it.

Now, readers are harder to move, editors harder to impress, and agents have a sixth sense for machine voices.

If your story sounds like everyone else’s, your best ideas die on page one.

AI-Proof Your Story stops that by showing you how to sound like you again.


Why This Matters more for SFF Writers:

Contemporary fiction hides in the familiar. But speculative fiction demands explanations for any magic systems, alien cultures, or future tech.

Without authentic voice:

  • Magic systems read like instruction manuals
  • Politics sounds like Wikipedia summaries
  • Technology feels sterile

Your worldbuilding needs a human voice to make the impossible feel real.

The Proof: Real Sentences, Real Difference

AI-Proof Your Story doesn’t lecture you about finding your voice.

It shows you how through micro-examples pulled straight from real rewrites.

You’ll watch a dull sentence being rewritten so it wakes up.
You’ll see your scenes go from passable to piercing, as if someone opened a window in the sentence.
You’ll hear your dialogue breathe.

Each example in the guide is designed for a quick ‘aha’ moment, and you can test each concept in your own draft.

No theory. No fluff. Just before-and-after proof you can hear.

The Just-Write Guarantee: Makes Everything Risk-Free

This one doesn’t.

It shows you the exact switches to flip inside your sentences so your fiction feels lived in, even when the idea came from somewhere impossible.

You don’t need months of workshops to sound human again. You don’t need to spend serious cash on editing services either.

You just need the right small, practical tools you can learn in under an hour, and use forever.

So, if you’ve ever reread your work and thought…

“This feels fine, but it doesn’t sound like me…”

… this is your chance to fix that.

About the Author

I’m Kevin Elliott. A fellow writer who learned the hard way.

I spent years polishing stories that looked right but didn’t sound human, and I watched my workshop students struggle with the same problem. Finally I wrote AI-Proof Your Story. Not to recycle theory, but to share practical, battle-tested techniques.

I’m a self-published speculative-fiction author. I specialise in world-building, and for over a decade I’ve been helping Oxford writers find their voice through workshops, mentoring, and friendly rewrites.

Along the way, I’ve shared ideas on panels at WorldCon, EasterCon, and FantasyCon, where the same question keeps coming up:

“How do I stop my writing from sounding like everyone else’s?”

AI-Proof Your Story is my best answer. It’s already helped dozens of workshop writers boost their writing skills, and it’ll help you in 45 minutes.

Early Feedback

“Great stuff, teaches you what those stuffy grammar guides miss. The Info Drama Dispenser section helped me turn three pages of magic-system exposition into one scene readers actually enjoyed.” – P.J, fantasy writer and workshop colleague

“Kevin knows his stuff, and explains everything so clearly.”
  Ben Mitchell, speculative fiction author and editor.

45 minutes from now your prose could sound unmistakably yours.
