Nowadays you donât get advances, we became to think how we can get compensation for our livelihoods and this is something that always needs to be done. Do you want legislation? If so you will have to convince governments and associations. You will need a campaignâ â Maureen Duffy

Does dissidence fuel creativity? The answer is yes from Power of Authors panelist Richard Poplak. âIt is an extraordinary time to write in South Africa. As writers we are negotiating an all-you-can-eat facts buffet and if we stay true to the facts, it will be quite powerful.â
