Your point about A.I. flooding the market with low-quality books dovetails with an experiment I recently conducted on my live editing show. Generating readable prose is getting cheaper and faster, but producing a compelling story still takes authentic editorial judgment.
I think that's the point authors chasing rapid release are missing. Five hastily generated novels with structural problems won't necessarily outperform one carefully developed book. More inventory means little if readers have no reason to return.
Re: niche audiences, the real competitive advantage is giving a target readership stories they can't get anywhere else. As A.I. publishing grows, do you think readers will be more discerning about which authors they follow?
I said it years ago: you're gonna see publishers heading towards indies who have big followings. They want readers, so they'll snatch up people who have them.
That job sounds so perfect for you! Please keep us updated!!! Awesome article. As for the readers I'm going for, I'm trying to appeal to those who appreciate a single-book high-fantasy story. I don't read many series myself (though The Mason Timeline is an exception), and as an author, I prefer writing standalone books, although I do have a potential series in mind for the future. ;)

You make me want to keep doing this. Good luck on that next interview.
