Our FIRST Podcast! Welcome! Talking about AI, Ghostwriting, and our books!

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:39:19 GMT

In this episode of The Indie Dependent Podcast, Amara Wynn and LJ Langdale dive into one of the biggest conversations in publishing right now: AI and what it means for indie authors.

We talk about how AI is reshaping the writing and publishing landscape. From tools that can help authors to concerns about originality, ethics, and where the line should be drawn. We also discuss the conversation surrounding Mia Bullard’s Shy Girl and what it reveals about reader expectations, transparency, and trust in today’s market.

From AI-generated art and book covers to ghostwriting and creative ownership, we explore how far is too far, and whether the rules are changing faster than authors can keep up. Don't come for us!

We also share a bit about our own books and experiences as indie authors navigating all of this in real time.

If you’re a writer, reader, or somewhere in between, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
