Slight misunderstanding of intent... I am not just interested in "one hit wonders" for authors... there will always be people who write in their spare time and do it for love of the act of writing, this is great but I also want authors with a large body of work which couldn't be produced as a part-time endeavour.

To be a full time writer doesn't mean that you are a degenerate money grubber but you seem to be getting stuck at that point... being full time as a writer means that you can put more work in to your creative productions but it also means that MONEY is necessary to live on in a reasonable fashion... damp, unheated garrets may sound unspeakably romantic as a work place but get old pretty quickly and as for stale bread...
