Snobbery in the arts is alive and thriving as always. The desire to write great "literature" and win the accolades of critics is strong for many. The desire to write popular commercial fiction and make money is equally strong with others. Then there are those unfortunate souls who write what they love and it doesn't fit either "market." 🀣 But they also have the opportunity to do something unique and are not limited by the rules of traditional publishing. If they are smart and driven, they might even make a living (or fortune) doing it. πŸ˜‰

Another excellent newsletter.
