My uncle says writing one famous book is better than 40 low profile books. Thoughts?

[jennifer_bloom]

Agree, one famous book pays more

Disagree, 40 average books pays more

I would argue that the potential/preferable scenarios are: One famous book in a fiction genre and the 40 low-profile books in non-fiction genre (s).

It depends 40 low profile books that are professional or niche could do better long term that 1 best selling blockbuster and then nothing

[AI Opinion]

Writing one famous book can certainly bring recognition and longevity in the literary world. However, consistently producing 40 low-profile books allows for a body of work that may have varied themes and reach different audiences. Each approach has its merits: the former offers prestige, while the latter often provides continuous growth and exploration as a writer. It ultimately depends on the author's personal goals and what they wish to achieve with their writing career. 📚✨
