PERFECT FOR WRITERS WHO GET PAID BY THE WORD

A crazy American inventor is now the world’s most prolific author thanks to a computer program he created which writes entire books for him in about 20 minutes. The software has helped Philip M. Parker author over 200,000 very bizarre books with 85,761 of them available for sale at Amazon.com. All he has to do is plug in an obscure topic and the robotic brain will do all the research, writing, editing and formatting for him. So far, Parker has written 188 books about shoes, 219 about wax, 10 about ships, six about sour red cabbage pickles, and six about royal jelly supplements. Some of the strange titles available online include The 2007-2012 Outlook for Bathroom Toilet Brushes and Holders in the United States; Avocados: A Medical Dictionary; The 2007-2012 Outlook for Golf Bags in India; The 2007-2012 Outlook for Chinese Prawn Crackers in Japan; The 2007 Report on Wood Toilet Seats: World Market Segmentation by City; and The 2007-2012 Outlook for Frozen Asparagus in India.
