The bad news: this still represents a relatively small percentage of authors. But it appears that the advent of ebooks has grown the total market and made it possible for more people to make a living out of writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other news: There are still reasons to pursue traditional publishing (either with the Big 5 or a small press), but, except for a very small number of authors, earning more money is no longer one of those reasons. This becomes clearer with every report they release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/authorearnings.com\/report\/may-2016-report\/<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        Another, even more comprehensive, report from Hugh Howey\u00a0and Data Guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publishing-industry-and-business-of-writing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3289\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
