A while back, someone posted the image below on Twitter X. It speaks for itself.
We live in a world where you can buy a book, new, for a few pounds or less. Self-published are often offered for free. Buying a book could well be one of the cheapest forms of entertainment around at the moment. All you need is your imagination.
You can spend £5 to £10 on a magazine these days.By comparison, books are cheap.
Then I came across this picture.
A marshmallow for £3.95? I'd rather buy a book, or maybe two for that.
Then there is the bargain-basement, or charity shops, car boot sales, flea markets… Cheap or even free books are everywhere. How is the wanabe writer going to make a living? Most don't.
