Page One - The Writer's Podcast Adventures in Publishing-land: How AI ‘Wrote’ 200 ‘Books’ a Year and The Wuthering Heights Adaptation Debate
Watch as a full video on YouTube
This week, we’re unpacking the controversy surrounding Emerald Fennell’s "Wuthering Heights" adaptation. From historically inaccurate corsets to Margot Robbie’s "raunchy" take on Cathy, we debate how far a retelling can stray before it loses the source material entirely.
Plus, we look at how one writer used AI to publish 200 novels in a single year, allegedly earning six figures. But is she a writer? And after a century of dominance, are paperbacks shuffling toward extinction?
