How a New Publisher in Florida, 2 Owls Media & Publishing, Leverages AI
Cape Coral, Florida Nov 15, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Florida-based 2 Owls Media steps into the world of children's literature with their debut book, "The Great Landscapers," now available on Amazon [link: https://amzn.to/3QjgsKM]. This innovative book marks the inauguration of a captivating series, promising a new storytelling frontier for young readers.
Inspiration struck when Bob Michaelson, author, and co-founder of 2 Owls Media, read a great presentation revealing the potential of Artificial Intelligence in creating and illustrating children's books. Intrigued by the possibilities, Michaelson chose to pioneer a new narrative approach, blending his own creative insights with the assistance of AI tools.
The concept of a rabbit family venturing into the world of lawn trimming, gardening, and landscape design stemmed from Michaelson's observations of the "wild" marsh hares in his Southwest Florida neighborhood. What began as a story two years ago blossomed into a full-fledged book, leveraging AI tools to assist. But with a difference: Michaelson and his team wrote a detailed outline first. Only after several drafts did they turn to AI tools.
Experience the magic of "The Great Landscapers" with sample pages available on the official company website [www.2owlsmedia.com]. The captivating story is accompanied by astonishing illustrations, offering a visual feast for young readers. They include a mix of actual photos, photo-realistic and animated movie-style images, again combining human creative work with AI.
Notably, 2 Owls Media draws its name from an unexpected wildlife encounter - two Burrowing Owls that made their home on the company's property. Michaelson humorously recalls, "Initially, I questioned the hype surrounding these tiny, protected creatures. Little did I know they would inspire our brand name and help spark our passion for wildlife-centric storytelling."
Excitement looms for the upcoming releases, including a dive into the enchanting world of dolphins and a promised tale about the owl pair that found their haven on 2 Owls Media's property.
Prior to his venture into children's literature, Michaelson spearheaded SinoMetrics International, a trailblazing software localization and translation company in the tech hub of Greater Seattle. His astute navigation of technology positions 2 Owls Media at the forefront of innovative storytelling.
Contact Michaelson regarding bulk purchases of "The Great Landscapers" for your school district or wholesaler.
Join the journey as 2 Owls Media continues to redefine storytelling by merging human creativity with the power of AI, opening new realms of imagination for young readers and captivating audiences worldwide.

SI is the future of AI – just not in the way Trump thinks
