Self-publishing

In a neon-lit futuristic street, a cheerful, stout science fiction novelist holds a glowing poster showing the cover of his book with the name «Laurent Chani», while a young man on his left reads an open book and a humanoid robot on his right displays a digital panel filled with books, all set in the middle of a high-tech city with flying cars and giant screens in the background.

Alongside my work as a science fiction novelist, I explore self-publishing as a true creative laboratory: from manuscript structuring to layout, including visuals and marketing, I rely on artificial intelligence to optimize each step. A central aspect of this approach is working with prompts—precise guidelines that help produce more accurate and effective texts, images, and ideas. On this page, I share my experience with AI-assisted self-publishing: what works, what saves time, and how to leverage prompt optimization to maintain control over your stories while freeing yourself from technical constraints.
