The Writer Entrepreneur

Changes in the publishing system over the past few years have brought to my mind the concept of the writer entrepreneur. Writers have always been entrepreneurs until recently they've been able to hide under the rubric of artist.
That writers are entrepreneurs there can be no doubt. "Undertaking an enterprise within an atmosphere of uncertainty and risk" perfectly describes a writer. Previously he or she could focus on writing his or her story then delegating the selling of it off to an agent. Now we are our own agents. It's the way it should be.

Writers really are natural entrepreneurs. After all you have to craft a voice as both writers and entrepreneurs and you have to get people to buy into your vision as both a writer and an entrepreneur. Plus, entrepreneurs have to know how to write so they can craft clearly-conceived and written business plans and pitch decks.

Yes, my friends, writers are entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs need to be writers.

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go.
