| Sumario: | The article presents information on the amount of money earned by children book authors. "Bloomsbury," children's author Mary Hoffman has castigated the publishing industry over the money earned by children's authors and illustrators, a third of whom she estimates are on less than the minimum wage. Hoffman said Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling's success had led to the popular misconception that other children's authors are also coining it. Publishers should be ashamed if authors earn less per hour than the people who clean their offices. |
