Author News Weekly

On this episode of Author News Weekly, we discuss the challenges indie authors face when it comes to reporting sales and income. We explore the trustworthiness of self-reported income and how it can affect financial integrity. Additionally, we touch on the concerns surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) and how it impacts the job market. We also discuss the use of AI-generated voices and its potential to spread false information. Finally, we address the idea that AI-generated literature is on the horizon and how authors can use AI tools to improve the quality and speed of their book production while maintaining professionalism.
