How Difficult Is It To Make A Living As A Playwright?

It’s practically impossible.

The least likely way to make a living in the theater is to become a playwright.

I make a very good living as a writer, but as a business writer. As a playwright I’ve had some sponsored travel and expenses covered. It’s more than a hobby, but it certainly isn’t how I make my living.

Still, if you ask me, “What do you do?” I’ll tell you, “I’m a playwright.”
