Fauzia Burke

My name is Fauzia Burke, and I’ve spent more than two decades working at the intersection of publishing, technology, and leadership. I began my career in traditional publishing at Henry Holt and John Wiley, and later founded FSB Associates, a firm dedicated to book publicity and author visibility. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with bestselling and influential authors as well as many first-time writers finding their voice.

As publishing evolved, so did my work. Today, my focus is on human-first AI adoption, helping authors, publishers, and leaders integrate AI in ways that support creativity, credibility, and thoughtful decision-making. I’m less interested in tools and trends, and more interested in judgment, values, and long-term impact.

I’m the author of Online Marketing for Busy Authors (Berrett-Koehler), and my writing and teaching explore how leadership, publishing, and responsible innovation intersect in the AI age. Through advisory sessions and educational work, I help people slow down, ask better questions, and make choices they can stand behind.

I live in San Diego, California. When I’m not working, I’m usually reading, spending time with family, or thinking about how technology shapes culture, and how humans can stay firmly at the center of that conversation.
