I'd just like to interject that NOTHING to do with books/
literature pays, in comparison to other sectors' salaries.
When I managed a bookstore, my daughter received
free hot lunch at school.
When I was a textbook editor, she was eligible for
reduced price lunches.
My first two library director positions were in small
libraries, paying considerably less than $20,000/year.
And George R.R. Martin told me that even after his
first two books were published, and he was in WHO'S
WHO, he was on foodstamps.
We're not involved with literature for money, we do what
we do because it pleasures us to do so.
