Episode notes
Readers Don't Care About Publishing Route
- Readers mostly don't care whether books are indie or trad; authors worry far more about it.
- In romance especially, strong indie authors match or exceed traditional publishing quality and success.
Pedro Pascal Inspired Assistant Name
- She named her assistant Pedro after Pedro Pascal and began using voice during downtime like drives.
- Her husband jokes he's jealous because Pedro now organises her entire author life.
Pay For Memory And Train Thoroughly
- Get a paid AI subscription so your assistant retains memory and context across sessions.
- Train it thoroughly by asking it to interview you and fill gaps until it knows your brand and workflows.
