L. Ron HubbardYou don’t get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.
About This Quote
Science fiction writers like the idea of meeting aliens that come to Earth and want to live among us. They can then use their superior intelligence to create a better life for all of humanity. However, the truth is that it is not easy to get rich writing science fiction. There are very few Hollywood deals for science fiction writers.
If you want to make money, you need popularity and mass appeal. You need to start a religion, or create something that appeals to everyone, not just science fiction fans.
