Only time will tell, obviously, but for in the present, writers are among the worst-paid and most taken advantage of dedicated workers on this planet. Why? Because, all in the name of art, we sell ourselves way too short, just to be heard, just to be recognized. And, until we become that BIG NAME author, we're just one in a crowd of many other very talented creative writers. Heather Webb is very accurate in her concluding advice to writers: "Remember that our words comfort, challenge, inspire. We disrupt the system. We shape what happens next. We will affect publishing and writerly lives because we are the idea generators. Don’t sell yourself, and don’t sell out. It matters to the rest of us. Our books shouldn’t be treated like bargain, warehouse-sized packets of Cheetohs. KNOW YOUR WORTH, AND PROTECT IT." We need to be more aware of our worth, but we also need to be recognized - it's a fine line, a shady area and there is no right answer. http://writerunboxed.com/2015/05/30/as-writers-what-are-we-worth/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WriterUnboxed+%28Writer+Unboxed%29
