The new report, released this month, is titled UK Authors' Earnings and Contracts 2022: A Survey of 60,000 Writers. Our Publishing Perspectives readers will recall that we and other various news media did a good deal of reporting in 2018, when an earlier report in this series found that in the United Kingdom, a "median annual income of a professional author [was] £10,500 (now US$12,699), well below the minimum wage," reminding readers that "the equivalent figure in 2013 was £11,000 (now US$13,304) and in 2005 it was £12,500 (now US$15,118)."
