Amelia L Rigby - Writer

Honestly, I would like to think of my books as 'bingeable', but I don't think they are 'easy' reading either.
What kind of reading do you seek out?

One thing that I have known all writers to agree with - being a writer of fiction means that your search history could get you put on some strange watchlists.
Believe it or not, these search terms are not about the same event in the story, okay?!

Happy July 1st.

So thrilled to share this awesome novel that I had the privilege to help copy edit! The Shore and The Tide launched this month - go take a look! Camille S Ross is out there blowin' 'em out of the water!

I love this.
But I think I might be writing more of an unbearably hot summer, where you're just hoping and waiting for the cool night to hit.

I’m not trying to write a tailored suit.
I’m trying to write boot socks, warm from the dryer.
There’s an endless autumn in me,
scenting my thoughts like campfire smoke.
I write for the weather I know.

All of my writing and services offered (editing, narrating) are AI-free.

"This is the first time in history when a whole generation is being told or tempted to have a machine write for them to express themselves. But I say like you are one of one unprecedented in the history of human evolution. There's only one of you. …There's never been you in Ever, and there never will be another one of you. So to give your voice to a machine, to say 'speak for me, I'm going to be silent and I'm going to tell a machine to express myself or to tell my narrative,' is such a crime against yourself.

"It's so dystopian, beyond anything I could do in a dystopian novel— and I did a lot; I never saw this coming— would be an entire generation tempted and too many of them acquiescing to the the silencing of their own voice in favor of a bland unthinking machine to voice their souls.

"But if you can tell them, 'even your roughest drafts, even your most disjointed seeming thoughts are going to be valid; and your voice is essential; the human chorus is incomplete without your voice; and I'm going to listen to whatever you say, even the rough drafts, whatever; I want those; I want to see it all," then we can make sure that that they're heard and that they feel like there are humans out there that want to hear that voice and not the machine processed voice.

"…Good lord, we're at a really scary time, you know, but every adult has to be that person. Every teacher, every parent has to be the one saying, 'Do not do this.' Your voice is the only thing that you have naturally. It's the one thing that nobody can replace. So let's hear your truth. Even if it's raw, even if it's unpolished, even if it doesn't come in the five paragraph essay or whatever. Like, let's let's have it straight from you."
