Authors hoping to support themselves by writing full-time live day-to-day in perpetual fear.

Regarding who makes a living: Are there more best-selling Agency authors in the Kindle million club or indie authors?

Mark Corker of Smashwords has said there are less than 50 authors (out of 14,000) that make more than $50,000/yr.
