Employment of writers and authors in general is projected to grow about as fast as the average for all careers from 2023 to 2033. The outlook will not be as strong for playwrights because so many people are attracted to this occupation. For playwrights, the outlook can be uncertain since many opportunities to produce plays depend on a healthy economy in which money is available to academic, nonprofit, and community venues and to theater-goers to purchase tickets.
