YO! BOT

                                   
                                                       It's Blog Day for the 
INSECURE WRITERS 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.
The awesome co-hosts for the July 1 posting of the IWSG are Jenni Enzor, Beth Camp, Liesbet,Tyrean Martinson, and Sandra Cox! 

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

Yup…  
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...
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
