What Has Become Of A Writer In The Age Of IT

Tweet

This is actually a series of questions. I am talking about poets and fiction writers (novelists and short story writers) in particular. Is there still robust interest in creative writing all over the world? How are publishers doing with respect to publishing creative works? Has creative writing become a sustainable livelihood for writers, or has the condition worsened for most writers nowadays? Is there any significant writing by any writer in any country in the present century? Is there an increase or a decrease in the number of people reading poems and short stories? Is there an increase or a decrease in the number of outlets for publishing poems and short stories? Are there presently more or less number of novels being published all over the world? What country has the most sustained interest in creative writing (which means more people still buy book of poems and stories)? What genre has remained active in the present age, and what genre may have already become unsustainable due to lack of readership? You may also add other issues confronting creative writers in any country today.
