My name is Dawson Grey…
…and I write with AI

A Dream of the Human Imagination's Future.

01 About

Yes. I write with AI.
No, it's a full time job.

First I learned to write. Then I learned to write with AI — and make no mistake, those are two different crafts. One took years. The other takes judgment every single day: steering the tool instead of being steered by it, navigating a jagged frontier where the easy path and the right one rarely line up.

And it isn't just books and short stories. It's AI audio series. The Dawson Grey Podcast, in the works. A fully fledged TikTok channel taking shape. Different forms, same discipline — using the machine hard, without ever falling asleep at the wheel.

"The frontier is jagged…
You'll find your place in it."
— DG

Forthcoming Novel In the Works

In the Works

An urban fantasy, deep in magic and the underground counterculture of San Francisco. That's all you get for now — more comes once 2027 is well underway.

Yes, AI is being used to draft it. But this story started more than a decade ago, with a human heart behind it — a human making the choices every step of the way, a human imagination tinkering on every single sentence. The machine helps build it. It doesn't get to decide what it means.

03 Audio Series

The Dream Core — an audio series by Dawson Grey

The Dream Core

More than a decade after a secret society of San Francisco dreamers saved the world, the forgotten machine that bound them is dying. Now REM must plug back in, relearn how to fly, and face what grew while they were awake: Nightmare. A cinematic audio odyssey through dreams, fear, and the fog.

04 Craft Podcast

The Dawson Grey Podcast

The Dawson Grey Podcast

The show where an AI author works with the garage door up. Each episode gets into the real machinery — the workflow behind the books, the craft of steering a tool instead of being steered by it, and the questions most people would rather dodge: transparency about how the work is made, honest provenance for every word, and what authenticity even means when a human and a machine build something together. No hype, no hand-waving. Just the frontier, mapped one conversation at a time.
