Today

Today, I have mostly been googling -- but for work purposes. The Lovely Naomi is putting together one of her periodic tax information leaflets, this time on taxation and writers. Which meant I spent the afternoon searching for penniless -- and penniful -- authors and their views. Via a lovely comment from Dave Langford (made in 1988) to the effect that impoverished authors no longer starve in garrets as the latter are now all refurbished des. res. I arrived at the most recent Sunday Times rich list, to find that only four authors appear -- J K Rowling, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Jackie Collins and Lord Archer.
So, calling all authors out there: what do you want to know from Naomi about tax? (Keep it clean, please, people.)
