[edit]Under the examples of hack writers in fiction, a fictional writer who turns to prositution in order to support himself is listed, that isn't an example of being a hack writer, becuase there is no writing involved, which is why I removed it. --24.116.228.9 (talk) 23:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Explain why the example of Sunset Boulevard is an example of a fictional hack. Explain it to me! I will keep removing it untill I get an explaination. It is not an example of a hack, when a writer turns to literal prostituion! Article Reverted. No explaination of why that is an example of a hack writer in fiction provided. --24.116.228.9 (talk) 22:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
this page needs to define "hackwork"; and it's not simply "by hack writers"
[edit]Edna St. Vincent Millay is not considered a hackwriter (first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize), but her page says she did "hackwork" under a pseudonym (she may have used the term herself), and hackwork redirects to this page. I presume it means writing that's "not challenging" (artistically, socially, politically) and meant to appeal to a mass audience. So, I think this page should have a separate section for hackwork to make some distinction like that; otherwise it makes no sense to get redirected here 2603:8001:D3F0:87E0:0:0:0:1DF6 (talk) 21:13, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
