• Why Hollywood’s Writers Are Firing Their Agents En Masse

  15-04-2019 23:27 via feedproxy.google.com
  Short answer: The Writers Guild of America asked them to. Longer answer: The Guild says agency practices have evolved to the detriment of writers and that writers are earning less as agents expand their businesses, creating conflicts of interest. But it’s difficult. Writers depend on agents to work on their behalf and have close relationships with them. – Los Angeles Times

• Why Some Writers Reject Writing On Computers

  15-04-2019 19:01 via feedproxy.google.com
  The reason these writers choose old-school tools is that when it comes to writing, computers are too efficient and make changing things too easy, and this ease can slow things down. Writing by hand allows writers who pen their drafts to proceed in a linear fashion rather than continually being tempted to rearrange words on the screen before they know precisely where the story is going. – Quartz
