According to the National Writer's Union freelance writers (fiction or non) make the same amount of money in 2002 as they did in 1972---$5000 per year.

When I get queries from people to do editing they think I should be paid $10 per hour. I haven't made $10 per hour since 1985-1988, and I was in college so my expenses were minimal (no kids to feed, clothe, etc.)

I've been looking for job openings for fiction writers since I and 5000 of my closest friends lost our jobs at Kemper Insurance here in America's heartland. No openings for fictions writers, yet. Friends suggest the job market for poets may be better.

The annual average income for fiction writers - at least ten years ago - was about $5000. That'd prolly buy several of those top shelf fancy-dancy flavored Starbucks drinks a day.
