Writers do not earn very much

In 2005, I graduated with a degree in print journalism. It was already apparent that the internet was starting to disrupt the industry, but little did we anticipate how "writers' incomes declined by 42% between 2009 and 2019" ("Thousands of authors urge AI companies to stop using work without permission," Chloe Veltman, NPR, July 17, 2023) and that the 2022 median income for full-time writers was $23,000 (per "a forthcoming report from The Authors Guild," Veltman says).

Newsroom journalism isn't 'a path to fame and fortune'

"All The President’s Men is a very good movie — a suspenseful, high-stakes, real-life cat-and-mouse game about two little guys with grit taking on a king. And those little guys do it with excellent hair.

* * *

All The President’s Men made a working-class profession look like a path to fame and fortune. It may have ruined multiple generations of journalists. Suddenly, ink-stained wretches were dreamy. They were scrappy underdogs. Here’s the truth: Journalism is mostly eating at your desk. The true art of the reporter is typing with one hand and holding a sandwich with the other.

The problem with the movie is journalists aren’t superheroes. A good journalist knows that power in any measurement — even a spoonful — corrupts. Sometimes, rotten meat can smell sweet. A good journalist isn’t unbiased. They’re human beings. This means they’re hugely biased assholes. A good journalist knows that everyone is an asshole, including journalists. There are no creatures under heaven who excrete rose petals. Reporter, expose thyself.

Journalists are not sexy Robert Redford, with sensitive furrowed brows. Dustin Hoffman’s Carl Bernstein is a chain-smoking ladies’ man in All The President’s Men. Woodward and Bernstein were ex-hippies in tight pants with egos the size of Chevy Impalas — like the rest of their generation. Oy, Boomers. The movie made them rock stars, and only rock stars are rock stars. All The President’s Men is a fun fantasy to watch for two hours and 18 minutes, but it’s just make-believe. You know, bullshit. The Adventures Of Bob And Carl."

— John DeVore. Essay: 'All The President's Men' (1976): Journalism isn't sexy—it's mostly eating at your desk. July 21, 2024.

Neither is hustling for paid subscribers to your own blog

Shay, writing in October 2025, says: "as of this writing, I have made $6,821 in two years on Substack." And: "I only just this month cracked the 100 paid subscriber mark. At $5 a month or $50 a year, that’s not a lot of cash, especially when I must pay taxes on that money." Her monthly stats are 43,000 readers on Substack and 1.9 million readers on Facebook, but she's only getting $500 for that value she's providing to so many people (minus, I suppose, Substack's 10% fee and then owing income tax on the remaining $450).

Sometimes a reader will ask her why her Facebook posts don't have links. Obviously, it is because Facebook strips out the links when she copy/pastes her work to be freely available on Facebook. (Also, something she doesn't mention: Facebook's algorithm suppresses posts that contain external links because they discourage people from leaving Facebook.) Those readers will compare her "to someone else who is well-resourced with more time and money and possibly even an assistant or two," someone who is literally Substack's top paid writer, earning an estimated $5 million per year. Really:

"In the old days, you didn’t read unless you paid. Now? It’s a smorgasbord of consumption that is dismissive of who creates that work, or what goes into it. I spend hundreds a month on subscriptions so I can access accurate news as much as possible. I share unpaywalled links. So, yeah, nitpicking when you can’t get a source when you are on a device that has access to so much information feels less than mindful."

In other words, her sources are somewhere, and free readers on a platform that obstructs the posting of sources should take the time to find out where she posted her sources, which might be behind a paywall, in which case the readers should really think about paying for her work.

The way I do it

Personally, I write on Medium. Medium members pay $5/month for access to millions of articles on the platform by all the writers. I get paid a few pennies only when those paying members find and read my work. No, the pennies don't add up to "a lot." They add up to "something."

On March 19, 2026, I selected Medium's new option to minimize AI companies' access to my words. I said I don't consent for AI companies to train on my words, even if the companies will penalize me by removing me from their search results or summaries.

How many people follow me

It took two years (2019 & 2020) for 200 people to follow me.
Another two years (2021 & 2022) and a total of 500 people were following me.
Another two years (2023 & 2024) and there were 2,000.
2025 continued at that pace — there were 2,700 by the end of the year.
2026 has been slower. In the first four months of the year, only another 100 followers came; then, over the next three months, another 100. There are a total of 2,925 as of early August. That's despite my face time at two virtual talks at Medium's "Pub Crawl" in March. It seems to me (and others) that they've tweaked the algorithm to show our stories to existing followers but not necessarily to new people, hoping we'll do our own promo.

There are some resources here in A Roll Of The Dice: The Limbo Of Changing Careers In Your Mid-To-Late Twenties, by Lucy Hicks Beach (May 2025)

This is a helpful look at earnings on Medium: When Creator Math Isn't Mathing, How & why I'm pivoting my business, Jason McBride, Escape Motivation, Aug 06, 2026

"The system has always been broken in ways that affect marginalised writers, and even when that system claims it is working toward undoing the chains at the core of the issue, it is either not truly committed to doing so, or only committed insofar as their effort reinforces their assumptions about marginalised writers and the stories they have to tell. Gatekeepers love to tell you they 'can't relate'. When they can, they love to tell you they 'don't know how to sell it'. When they are willing to try anyway, they love to tell you that there's no room anyway, that an invisible quota of books by other Black or queer or non-American writers just got in under the wire before you.
* * *
The short version, I think, is that no one is ever actually reading Black work, or any work from marginalised writers for that matter. I think that it is often far more valuable to some parts of publishing to sell what a work signals about the identity of its characters or author than it is to sell the work itself. Then, in the rare instances when it is willing to bet on marginalised writers, it does so not because it is genuinely curious about that specific author's given imagination or craft, but because it believes there is something strong in that signal that will do the double work of drawing eyes to the radical text they have chosen, and therefore confirm that they are the place to go to find radical texts, because they too are doing important work."
— Brandon O'Brien, An Essay: 'beyond the margin-frame', Patreon, August 6, 2026

5 stories I wrote on Medium that got hardly any views

The following articles had 1–19 views each. Never mind whether the person who viewed them went on to read them. Each title had failed to persuade 20 people even to click on it.

I assumed the titles were bad, and I retitled them.

However, months later, they haven't gotten any new views. Apparently, retitling an old story doesn't nudge Medium's algorithm.

If 'we' were the only pronoun, how would 'you' act? (Feb 7, 2020)
New title: Thinking on the Level of the System

Feelings may become reasonable over time (Feb 20, 2019)
New title: In High Conflict, Is the Growth Worth the Drama?

The Top Ten Things You Can Write Instead of a "Top Ten" List (Mar 17, 2020)
New title: Top 10 Things to Write Instead of a 'Top 10' List

Economics Doesn't Crunch 'Environment' Well (Oct 15, 2022)
New: Earthpocalypse Isn't a 'Marginal' Cost (Despite What Economists Say)

Now Departing From Track 1 (June 30, 2021)
New: The Would-Be Scholar of Eunuchs

It's hard to know what to do with old articles that no one ever read. It's as if I tossed them down a well. What do you think?

Literary small presses: Buy and read their books, and submit your work

In 2018, I began following the small-press lit world on Twitter, and I started keeping a list of literary presses. I no longer maintain this list. There's no reason to. It was rather specific to my interests, and I'm no longer on Twitter (now called X) so I don't need the X handles of these presses.

Below, you'll see my original list in its original format. The @ signs are their X handles, which may no longer exist today in 2024. I'm sharing this old data just in case any of it is of interest to anyone.
