9 Ways That Artificial Intelligence (AI) Will Disrupt Authors And The Publishing Industry

Some people say that publishing has already been disrupted, that this current state is the new model. But I don't think the disruption has even started yet. As Jeff Bezos says, "it's always Day One." In the last ten years, we've seen the rise of digital publishing, print on demand, and the independent author movement, as well as the growth of streaming audio and the use of internet marketing tools like Facebook and Amazon Ads to sell more books. In this episode, I'll talk about some of the possible disruptions to come for authors and the publishing industry due to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the next 10 years. This episode is sponsored by my Patrons, authors who are passionate about the future of publishing and help support my time in producing episodes like this. Ten years ago, when I started self-publishing, I was over-the-top excited about the potential of ebooks (see my embarrassing video here!). I could see the incredible possibilities as a creator to reach the whole world with my words. Since starting out in 2008, I have built a multi-six-figure business as an author-entrepreneur, taking action on that feeling of optimism and learning everything I needed to know to write, publish, market, and make a living with my writing.
