It is harder than ever for authors to make a living, according to the latest income survey from the Authors Licensing and Collecting Society, which has found writers' average earnings have dropped to under £10,500-a-year, a fall of 15% in real terms since its last review in 2013. The survey also shows a growing gender gap in author pay, with women authors typically earning around 75% of the average male author income.
