RARA-AVIS: Hardboiled writers: Do they make a living?

Sat, 25 Oct 1997 12:58:35 +0000 I was reading on the hammett list (insert shameless plug: to
subscribe send a subscribe hammett message to
majordomo@cigarsmokers.com), that Hammett had to take on other work
during the 1920s to make ends meet.

This is a writer who is deemed successful.

this got me thinking, do these guys make enough from writing to
support themselves? I am referring to the medium level writer who
publishes regularly.

Thanks,

Joe
