>author's earnings at an all-time low >sale of print books declining every year >awards and book contracts often being given out to non-whites and women solely to earn points >mockery of white male authors both living and dead now commonplace >society's ethnic demographics shifting so rapidly that the quota of male writers will be even slimmer every year >celebrities, YouTubers, social media whores, influencers being handed book contracts on easy-mode
Not trolling but what's the point wasting your time, energy and money into pursuing a writing career of any kind when the mainstream culture is now actively organizing itself against you?
>non-whites The problem is your seeing this as tribalistic. There's literally no difference between this shit and Jews' "goyim". I sense white resentment. Please don't shoot up a school.

If you only want to write as a job yeah the prospects are sorta slim but if you really have a story or some thoughts you want to share you should do it. It might be seen by the right people and age better than the rest and you might be remembered.
Logan Perry
you're* ffs

Easy, use a pseudonym. Soon my novel "The Master's Whip" by Sharice Bennets will be a top seller on kindle, and made into a broadway show.

Males are doing video games and movies now. Get with the times grandpa. You can do writing on the side btw
Ryder Gutierrez
>muh white males! we are so oppressed!
Blake Powell
You absolutely should care about white males ever declining interest in literature, unless your writing romance.
Xavier Scott
I thought print sales increased recently.
Noah Garcia
>celebrities, YouTubers, social media whores, influencers being handed book contracts on easy-mode Luckily we have Pewds.

/pol/ complaining about it doesn't mean it's true. The market has just expanded to include more people and their interests. If you look at the nobel prize in literature most of the winners are white men
Dylan Davis
>unless your writing romance. Or urban fantasy YA.
The growth is horrible outside of nonfiction and mainly as a result of the decline in popularity of e-readers.
Colton Lee
>The market has just expanded to include more people and their interests. You've got no clue what your talking about, every genre and category dependent on white males has completely failed to attract a more diverse consumer base, literary fiction is already on deaths door and could vanish with a couple of decades; it's already completely unviable economically.

No one owes you a contract (also I think most publishing houses are jewish and most readers are jewish too). If you are good, self publish, sell digital copies and if your books are good people will buy them. The number of men hasnt decreased that much, there are still hundreds of millions in the west, write good books that have appeal to this demographic and you will make a ton of money.

the idea that artists had to make money to produce art is a lie pushed by capitalists art can/will exist unencumbered from such trite hinderances, and I'm super fucking stoke breh
Jackson Perez
you got a source on that?
Gabriel Hall
Reminder 25k sales is considered a smash hit literary fiction and award winning authors like Anne Enright sell
Tyler Edwards
>We are being replaced! Yelled the dumb whitoid in the void of the internet
Jace Ramirez
If you make art to have a successful career than you're a doobus
Matthew Price
Check out "Publishers Weekly" you can find most sources for sales numbers in theses type of threads on there.
Matthew Hughes
this. if you write with the end goal of making a living from selling your works, writing will always be a task, and self-loathing will eat at you. whatever you write will be tainted by your desire for money
Carter Hernandez
That's not even a lot...? wtf?
went to goodreads. john green's shit has 3 million ratings. kite runner has 2 million. popular shit (names you've heard of) typically 1 million and up. average good-enough-to-sell shit has 300k. crazy rich asians has 250k. literally who shit gets 10k+.
that's just for popular contemporary, not literary. but what are we talking here? how does it get 10x more ratings than sales, one person buys and it gets passed around? is that only counting paper sales, not kindle audible library etc?

Butthurt shitskin detected. Do me a favor and stop culturally appropriating western literature.
See above.

>Butthurt shitskin detected. Do me a favor and stop culturally appropriating western literature.
>Do me a favor and stop culturally appropriating western literature. lmao for you to think that cultural appropriation is some kind of universal concept. Btw how high is your Hispanic ancestry percentage?
