The Deep End

In "How Authors Can Save Their Livelihoods," Jason Boog presents a compelling examination of the challenges facing contemporary authors, revealing that median incomes have plummeted and many writers earn nothing at all. Drawing parallels with the struggles of writers during the Great Depression, when initiatives like the Federal Writers Project emerged, Boog emphasizes the importance of solidarity among authors and progressive movements in advocating for economic justice. Through a blend of history and current events, he highlights potential paths for revitalizing a profession under threat.
