After reviewing the items marked on my returned Lit Review and the comment sheet attached, there are a few elements that I will be specifically addressing while polishing up my Research Proposal (which is 90% done). 1. I detest MLA format, but since it is the style used in English departments and PTW, I will (obviously) fix those errors. Part of the reason I dislike it so much is that I am thoroughly practiced in the in-text and Works Cited citation style used in Geography, which - in my opinion, which when combined with $2 will get a cup of gas station drip coffee - looks more professional and also comes more naturally.

Another formatting item I got zapped for was also related to formatting, specifically tabbing indents over to 1/4". Also not a problem to fix. 3. One thing that I got zapped for, and that I am going to be stubborn about fixing, was a rhetorical style choice...

The research gap identified in my literature review is multifold rather than singular. My topic of research is how to use psychographic analytics to develop reader personae representative of a genre audience by using generative AI platforms like ChatGPT. Currently, the bulk of the PTW research I have reviewed shows multiple gaps. First, there is a surprising (sort of) lack of discussion defining genre fiction; initial research suggests that PTW researchers haven't really considered fiction writing professional enough. Second, almost every piece of literature I looked at for psychographics talks about using market segmentation studies as a way to sell a product AFTER it has been developed; there really aren't many articles that I came across that suggested psychographics could be developed as a pre-writing tool to heighten the successful design of fiction plots, themes, and characters to appeal to a target audience. Likewise, nearly everything I looked at for personae was also m...
