I believe that people have much to gain from making sure that authors, artists, publishers and promoters are compensated, while using and getting works like songs, books, audiobooks and so on.

Due to the lack of definition, writing such as feature stories can be considered as creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of the features focuses specifically on narrative and character development.

Understanding the networking game can help build your author fan base and your book sales. But where and how do you start building your author network? I’ll answer this burning question for you by sharing what I’ve experienced and observed.

People often scoff at creative careers. It's too risky. It's not a real job. There's no money in it. You'll starve on the streets, they say. Those people are stuck in a traditional mind-set. They'd rather stay in the 9-5 jobs they hate instead of taking the leap and doing what they love for a living. The thing is, the information out there is skewed. And, sometimes, flat out wrong.
