I've been away from the profession of selling my words and photos for a fair time now, and I'm wondering if the opportunity still exists, except perhaps for a few exceptions, to make a reasonable living selling stories to outdoor magazines. My general observation over the years is the apex of outdoor writing occured when Erwin Bauer was at his peak.

How has the business world of a professional outdoor writer changed over the last five or 10 years? What about the impact of the internet?
