Author Uses AI to Produce 200 Romance Novels in a Year
The writer earned six figures from about 50,000 sales using AI to produce over 200 romance novels without revealing AI involvement, citing stigma and business concerns.
- The New York Times reported that Coral Hart, a Cape Town writer, mass-produced more than 200 romance novels and sells them on Amazon without disclosing AI use, earning six-figure revenue from about 50,000 sales.
- To scale income, Hart experimented with substituting volume for ads and runs PlotProse, which sells software and a $300 February Launchpad mentorship for rapid book production.
- During a Zoom demo with the Times, PlotProse proprietary software generated a full novel in about 45 minutes, and the PlotProse Skip-the-Draft Package claims to produce 90% complete books for $80–$250 monthly.
- Hart's dual role as instructor and publisher creates reputational tension, as she markets courses under her name while performing publishing work under her real name, the Times reports.
- Industry observers say the approach could shift market incentives, noting Hart's late last year Brave New Bookshelf podcast signals a move to high-volume AI authorship favoring repeatable launches.

Coral Hart, a Cape Town-based novelist previously published by Harlequin and Mills & Boon, produced more than 200 AI-assisted romance novels last year and self-published them on Amazon, where they collec…
