It's Blog Day for the
INSECURE WRITER’S SUPPORT GROUP
The first Wednesday of each month, members of IWSG announce a question that members can answer in their IWSG Day post. These questions may prompt you to share insight or a personal experience or story. Remember, the question is optional.
IWSG was founded by Alex J. Cavanaugh and is a forum of writers who gather to talk about writing and the writer's life.
Remember, the question is optional.
July 1 question: There have been many industry changes in the last decade, so what are some changes you would like to see happen in the next decade
The changes that I’d like to see in our industry are:
BOTS for authors a.k.a.—YoBot
It’d work like this:
You’re working on a manuscript...
YoBot would read your manuscript...
After scanning the web for information on killer manuscripts...
YoBot would edit and make suggestions...
YoBot would choose the best genre fit...
YoBot would scan the web...
Finding agents or publishers who are accepting your genre...
YoBot would write & send query letters and/or synopses...
If you get rejected...
YoBot would put a comforting message on your desktop...
And then...
And then...
YoBot would then send out more queries...
When your query got a hit...
YourBot would work with the agent’s or publisher’s bots...
Until it was time to actually talk with said agent.
Now…
If self-publishing was your path...
YoBot would upload your manuscript to places like: KDP, IngramSpark, BookBaby, etc.
YoBot would take care of all the accounting details...
And then YourBot would design a failproof advertising/marketing plan
To be specific:
YoBot would do 90% of all the blah, blah details of getting published...
Ultimately, freeing up more time for you to write.
Ah yes...
"Time to Write" - the holy grail for authors.
So?
What would you like your own personal YoBot to do for you?
Always,
Em-Musing
