The Flash Story writers.
New York letter.

One would think that clever person
engaged in writing sensational stories for
the weekly papers would be able to make
decent living. They certainly ought to
but few of them do There is a very
great demand for this class of reading,
and the publishers show every evidence
of prosperity, but there is no money for
the author. If he succeeds in getting
enough TO keep his soul and body to-
gether he is indeed fortunate used to
read of the princely salaries Bonner, of
The Ledger, paid some of his writers, and
got the impression that the person who
wrote half dozen or so Of these sensa-
tional stories in year enjoyed g comforta-
BILE income. But that was where was
wrong. Mrs. Southworth, John Halli-
burton, and few writers of that charac-
ter are well paid, but they are the few
exceptions.
was talking to the editor of certain
cheap, popular publications the other day
on this subject and he said that a major
tsy of story-writers were women, who did
not depend upon their pen for a living.
The highly sensational ones such as de-
tective stories, are written mostly by
broken-down journalists, who can not
make living on daily newspaper. The
price paid is from 50 to $5 per column.
A great many stories are sent in, this gen
tleman said, for which no pay is asked
and about one In every ten Of them can
be used A few of them will have a good
plot. but it has to be reconstructed The
men who take these stories for elabora-
ton are merely gifted with lively imag-
nation. The work becomes very labori-
Gus and can net be kept up very long at a
time. There is nearly always at least one
story at time in these papers that has
some literary merit These are written
principally by persons engaged upon the
daily press. Poetry is better paid for by
these publications than prose.
