Authors’ earnings from copyright and non-copyright sources: A survey of 25,000 British and German writers

, and .
Centre for Intellectual Property Policy & Management, Poole, Dorset, (2007)

Abstract

From the executive summary: Although authors’ earnings are well below average, the crucial distinguishing feature is the risky nature of the profession. Writers work in winner-take-all markets. Compared to the UK, writers’ earnings are lower and less skewed in Germany. This may reflect a more regulated environment for copyright contracts in Germany. It may also reflect the globalised nature of English language markets. Female writers earn considerably less than male writers.
