Making a living from book sales alone, by writing books is as rare as a billionaire.
Still. Quite sad to think about.
Of course, many writers use writing as part of a greater hustle, and there are of course also movie deals and other adaptations.
And this excludes journalism, tabloids, copywriting, technical writing, writing for hire, short-form writing, screenwriting, playwriting, and many others.
In fact, I think writers focusing exclusively on books is quite rare. I expect there are many more people making a living through writing alone than there are billionaires.
