What are the jobs for writers, whats the pay for writers, any other info would be great! Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Less than 5% of writers make a full time living at it, unless you are considering a field like journalism. If you want to write books or do freelance work, I would be prepared with a plan for a day job to pay your bills while you write. There's no standard pay for writers. Typically, a first book will probably net the author less than $5,000. For every Rowlings or King out there, hundreds of other authors are making little to no money on their books. But if you have a passion for it, it's worth it! |
