Taxes

For American Writers Only



Did you know that you don't have to make a profit to write off your
writing expenses?  You don't even have to be published or
contracted to publish.

can be as simple as having copies of your rejection letters. 


I'm not an accountant or tax attorney so here are some experts to give
you the details.
