Nikkole Salter: Why I Joined the Guild

On Twitter, we asked our members, “As a writer, how do you build community?” Here’s what they said:
With relentless gratitude and impossible acts of trust. But also with cash money. I pay all my artists. It’s never what they’re worth, but it’s always with a huge portion of that aforementioned relentless gratitude.
