Authors' incomes collapse to 'abject' levels
says Alison Flood in the Guardian.ALCS survey finds median annual earnings for professional writers have fallen to £11,000, 29% down since 2005.
Not good news but is it a drop in sales, a drop in prices (Amazon at work) or is the turnover spread over a billion mainly self published authors making £5 a year rather than 100000 making £50,000 pa?
