@AimeeMaroux Ever tried your hand in writing contemporary romance? You could write convincingly about, say, an enemies-to-lovers plot between a biologist and a professor of classical literature. And then, if the novel sells, you can follow up with spin-off for all the side characters connected to the main characters.
Professionally nerdy women are under-represented in the genre, especially realistically written ones. Maybe you could help ameliorate that as a side income source.

@deFractal I have actually ghostwritten a contemporary romance novel but I don't know if the client ever published it. I'd say I'm not the best at romance, unfortunately. One idea that lives in my head is a sapphic romance between a haematology researcher and a vampire as an homage to The Little Vampire, my favourite childhood series. But novel-length stuff takes a long time to write and with AI books flooding Amazon & other companies I'm not sure self-published books are still making money.
