Writers do get paid for making public appearences/readings, convention panels, etc. While they are there they are able to sell their own copies of their books at full price. I've also seen a writer who will write characters based on real people into their books for a fee. Some also teach writing skills to wannabe writers, others sell T-shirts and other merchandise. Writing books is not their only source of revenue.
