95% of authors are not making a living through book publishing. The public needs to understand this.

procrastinating getting started on work this morning so let’s have story time!
last week i had my first personal experience with the general lowkey dismissal, minimisation and invisibiling of trans men in progressive spaces, and in a way i really wasn’t expecting—through my daughter’s art class!

🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states.
This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....

ALCS report on author incomes shows 60% drop in median incomes since 2006

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

the vast majority of authors are not rich y’all, we often work multiple jobs or rely on other people’s incomes because this industry pays us shit. i have three different contracts with three different big five publishers and i don’t make anything NEAR a living wage. but i do work seven days a week!🫠
I did a thread a few weeks ago of "authors link your stuff" & one of my author friends who is one emergency away from being homeless had a massive spike in downloads on Anna's Archive from people *who follow me* complaining about how they are poor & should be allowed to steal from other poor people

i wish i was more of a movie buff to stress test this thought… are there any big hollywood movies set in Australia that don’t use us as an inhospitable backdrop (like Fury Road) or romanticise The Hardships Of The Land (a la Baz Luhrmann’s Australia)?
if i was feeling uncharitable i might wonder if big movies are only set here when the idea of australia can conform neatly with stereotypes of the land as inhospitable

And it's even harder find something set in regional Australia (and not just "generic desert and/or bush"). Possibly closest for me is this one, at least set in regional Qld, even if I wasn't quite in cane country...
