A lot of what happens to us as writers is our own fault. But to be fair, the information I needed at the beginning was not easy to come by. It is not always easy now. We need to make sure that it flows freely so that we get a better deal in the future. The more of us involved, the greater our influence will be.
People are interested in fighting our corner.
The question is how. We may need a writer's charter, a newsletter, an association of some kind through which we can network. If you have ideas, get in touch and contribute your suggestions for the way ahead.
