What is the percentage of such writers who make a living by writing books?
No one has a complete answer to this question. Because, it is not possible to know in this way. But many are still making a living as they did in the past by writing books. In this case, we can talk about the pen magician Humayun Ahmed. He left teaching at the university and concentrated on writing. Nuhashpalli is an example of a writer who has never had financial problems in his life. This is also known from many of his books. He was the first book publisher in the history of Bengali literature to receive a car advance for publishing a new book.
But many writers are seen to have financial problems in their life due to their readership or any other reason. A memorable saying in this regard is "No one should come this way without providing two rice". In the life of many poets or writers including Manik Bandyopadhyay, the financial situation was miserable.
Many writers including Sadat Hossain and Kinkar Ahsan are making a living in this way. Everything is possible
