Nicolas Cole argues writers are earning more than ever, citing 15+ years across industry cycles. Technology and new publishing platforms have made it roughly a hundred times easier for writers to succeed financially compared to a decade ago, despite fears about AI and job scarcity.
There has never been a better time in history to be a writer and to make money as a writer. I understand how if you haven't done that yet, I can understand how you might look around and go, "No, this is the worst time. I mean, AI and jobs and nobody's hiring writers," and like, it's so easy to catastrophize. I'm telling you, as someone who's been doing this for over 15 years, I've gone through a lot of different cycles, I've seen a lot of different things change. Without question, it is 100 times easier and better right now than it was 10 years ago. We have better technology, we have better platforms, we have more opportunities. All of It is better.
