Writers expose themselves freely and willingly in a way that would have been unfathomable 50 years ago, and more people than ever are writing and publishing. Men and women are writing with equal fervor and commitment to their message and craft. As a result, it’s easy to assume, or hope, that the gendered playing field is a thing of the past, too.

People often scoff at creative careers. It's too risky. It's not a real job. There's no money in it. You'll starve on the streets, they say. Those people are stuck in a traditional mind-set.
