Divesting en-masse from billionnaire-owned platforms would help us all *a lot*, but there's no easy answers for that right now when so many rely on one or all of them to survive.
I'd also like to see better options for unionisation. What exists often only exists for those earning at a certain threshhold or having attained a certain level of mainstream prestige, but early-career and smaller authors still matter.
Not to mention the bias and bad faith politics within many such organisations.

#WritersCoffeeClub 2: Have you ever written a character making one decision, only to later revise them choosing otherwise? Not that I can think of. Much more common would be planning/expecting the story to go a certain way, only to get there havibg *written* up to that point and realising I'm telling a different story where different decisions would be made. This is why I don't plan much; feeling my way through the story often takes me in unexpected directions. But revisions, less so.
