How Much Do SF and Fantasy Writers Earn?

Tobias S. Buckell is a Science Fiction author (2002 John W. Campbell Award Nominee, and Winner of the 1999 Writer's of the Future Contest) whose first novel is due soon.

He recently conducted a survey of 75 published SF&F authors to discover how much they earned from their labours. The results are quite fascinating, and nowhere near as low as I expected it to be. If you want to be published, and maybe even make a living from your writing this is a great article, with lots of tips.

Go ahead and give it a read: "How Much Does a Science Fiction or Fantasy Writer Make?".

Intelligent comment, Argus. I don't think your suggestion would leave any hands free to actually write the SF&F to keep you in that lifestyle though.
