From Goodreads:

π‘…π‘Žπ‘–π‘›π‘ π‘‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘š π‘œπ‘“ π‘‡π‘œπ‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘€ is a sound refutation of Stephen Hawking’s declaration that β€œphilosophy is dead”: as philosophers have not kept up with science, their art is dated. This work, however, casts light on philosophical questions that are ultimately beyond the reach of science – the type of questions that can be addressed but not answered so long as we hold to our position of human beings. That being said, philosophy remains one of the most frustrating disciplines in that it welcomes questions but evades answers. This never-perishing sense of frustration is symbolized by the everlasting π‘…π‘Žπ‘–π‘›π‘ π‘‘π‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘š π‘œπ‘“ π‘‡π‘œπ‘šπ‘œπ‘Ÿπ‘Ÿπ‘œπ‘€, which is not something to be rid of but rather hailed as the ultimate driver of human civilization.

A Publisher's Conversation with Authors: Should you treat your writing as a business?

Image
It is Tuesday. Monday's madness is over, and Wednesday will take us over the hump, so Tuesday it is--for some serious discussion with authors. Tuesday talks mean to address authors in waiting and self-published authors who would like to go a more traditional route or who would at least like to take their steps with a publisher by their side.  This week we look at whether an author should set up a formal business or simply treat writing as a side gig, That, of course, depends. It depends on an author's income level, long-term goals, and risk tolerance.  Here’s a breakdown of the pros and cons of formalizing a writing business versus staying a sole proprietor and paying taxes on royalties.
