I technically have four jobs, outside of the writing.
This is down from when I had six jobs, last year.

I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

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....
