I always think of the aristocrat writers of the 19th century who had very little to do but write. All their needs were taken care of, so plenty of unstructured time to be creative and produce the epics we admire today. Perhaps UBI would unlock a lot of writing talent, but probably not worth waiting around for. I envision a sort of decentralized publishing org. Writers submit first drafts of their novels. The org has editors and curators which determine which projects get selected. Then the novels are polished and published. A pre-sale could, in theory, generate the capital to pay the writer an advance and for the services of the support team. Any revenue after publishing would be split according to a smart contract. Marketing remains the challenge, but maybe FC is a place where a book get generate 2,000 pre-orders at $5-10 a pop?
