How to Turn Old Essays Into an Ebook That Sells (with a little help from AI)

You don’t need to write something new.
You just need to finish something old.

If you’re a writer, especially one with years of essays, blog posts, or newsletter rants under your belt, chances are you’re sitting on gold you haven’t cashed in.

This guide shows you how to take your old work and turn it into a real ebook you can sell, share, and feel proud of. It’s not magic. And it’s not ghostwritten AI junk. It’s you—sharpened, structured, and shipped.

Inside, I’ll show you:

• How to find, sort, and make sense of your old content
• How to train ChatGPT to help you without flattening your voice
• How to structure and format an ebook (even if you hate design)
• How to write a sales page that feels real, not hypey
• And how to finally hit publish on something that feels like you

If you’ve ever said “I should do something with all my writing someday”…

This is that someday.

What’s Inside:

• How to find and organize your old essays (even the messy ones)
• How to rewrite and edit without losing your voice
• Prompts to get unstuck, clean up your drafts, and use AI without sounding robotic
• Real-world layout and design advice—no fluff, no $300 templates
• Tips for pricing, promoting, and sharing your ebook without feeling like a fraud

I wrote this because I was tired of watching good writing collect dust.
And because I know that writing saved me—and maybe, it saved you too.
So let’s do something with it.

You’ll love this if:

• You’re a writer over 40, with folders full of old blog posts, essays, or journals
• You want to make something real—not just content for clicks
• You’re curious about how to use AI to support your writing, not replace it
• You’ve always wanted to publish, but didn’t know where to start
