No amount of money is worth the onslaught of one-star reviews from angry readers.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPublishers used to think a book kind of burned out its welcome really quickly, and now they\u2019re realizing books have really long tails \u2014 successful books \u2014 and if you can get an engaged readership on board, it\u2019s worth so much money to have that engaged fandom.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cYou have to have loftier goals than your expected outcome.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cA common mistake I see people make is thinking that readers won\u2019t follow you across genres. So you see people spread out their name amongst different pen names. I\u2019m going to write under this for sci-fi and under this for romance, and this is my nonfiction stuff. The brand is you. And if people enjoy your prose, they\u2019ll follow you to other genres. So really consolidate your identity. Unless you have a reason to not write under your real name, embrace your writing under your real name and make sure that you are the brand. The more readers can feel a connection with the person behind the work, the better off your career will be.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cTrusting expertise can get you in trouble.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cEverything written more than a hundred years ago is all free to read and you can download them all. That has not stopped people from having amazing careers. So the idea that there\u2019ll be too much to read and so no one will make a living, that\u2019s always been true. I\u2019m not sure what AI would change about that.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI think there\u2019s an existential crisis that we\u2019re going to face when we realize what you and I do is computational. Our brains are large language models. We\u2019re not that special. We can replicate the human soul in a lot of ways. I think people are going to have a hard time with that.\u201d<\/strong><br \/>\u2014\u00a0Hugh Howey<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you try to decide on whether or not to have kids based on what kind of life you think they\u2019re going to have, no one would have kids, because nothing\u2019s a guarantee.
