**How the Digital Novel Factory Works** Before starting to work with neural networks in February 2025, Coral Hart worked for 14 years in traditional publishing and independently wrote several dozen works. The author spent several months studying the properties of various artificial intelligences in detail and building her own effective text generation system. In her work, the writer combines the capabilities of several popular algorithms. One program excels at character dialogues, another builds a solid narrative structure, and a third creates vivid scenes. The author only needed to outline a detailed plot concept, define the characters' traits, and create a detailed plan for each chapter. Earlier, we wrote about how AI is changing the very essence of creative professions. **How to Create a Book in 45 Minutes** The writer admits that the very first draft from the neural network is always quite weak. To refine the text to perfection, she runs the finished material through the algorithms twice, correcting logical errors, inconsistencies in the plot, and random changes in details. At the final stage, a live person must proofread the finished manuscript to completely remove all traces of artificial intelligence. Thanks to a well-coordinated system, creating a new full-fledged book takes only 45 minutes. Most of the works consist of romance novels written under a dozen different pseudonyms based on careful analysis of consumer demand. One such novel even managed to break into the top hundred bestsellers of the popular service Amazon. Recently, we reported on how an AI-generated cover deprived female writers of an award in New Zealand. **Training in the New Method** The success of the digital writer has sparked outrage in the literary community. On social media, the author is called a fraud, and Coral Hart regularly receives tens of thousands of offensive messages and even threats of violence. Despite the colossal pressure, the South African writer openly defends her method and refuses to hide her face. The author is often accused of flooding the market with low-quality content; however, she points to high sales figures and the absence of mass returns from readers. In her opinion, it is foolish to ignore the inevitable technological changes in the book industry. Coral Hart has already trained hundreds of people in her method and is preparing to launch special software for authors working with neural networks.
