What we’re about
Welcome to Books, Bytes & Beyond — San Diego’s most creative space for readers, writers, and curious minds.
This group was founded by Lucie Benton, author of King of AI and the Julian’s Rose series. Alongside celebrating book launches, Lucie also teaches creative writing classes, helping writers bring their stories to life with powerful techniques that blend heart, structure, and imagination.
Here, we do things differently:
📚 Books — Swap your favorites, discover new reads, and connect through the power of storytelling.
💻 Bytes — Explore how AI can play a role in writing and publishing, from inspiration to editing, while keeping the human voice authentic.
🌟 Beyond — Step into workshops, discussions, and community events designed to spark creativity, build confidence, and open new possibilities for storytellers of all levels.
Whether you’re a passionate reader, an aspiring or established writer, or simply curious about how technology is shaping the future of stories, Books, Bytes & Beyond is a welcoming circle where your voice belongs.
