Coral Hart publishes 371 books in 20 months using AI

South African author Coral Hart has published 371 books in just 20 months by integrating artificial intelligence into her writing process. Using the pseudonym Coral Hart to protect her identity, she has become a polarizing figure in the publishing industry, facing tens of thousands of hateful messages and death threats from critics.

Hart, who has 14 years of experience in the publishing sector, developed a specialized system using various AI models to scale her output. She utilizes ChatGPT for dialogue, Claude for story structure, and Grok for specific types of scenes. Rather than requesting a complete book from a single prompt, she provides the AI with detailed story concepts, character descriptions, styles, and chapter outlines to generate initial drafts.

The process involves multiple stages of refinement. After the AI generates a draft, Hart uses further AI-assisted editing to fix plot holes and character inconsistencies, followed by a final review by a human proofreader to ensure quality and correct linguistic quirks.
