Literary Works
What, exactly, is the difference between literature and
journalism. The maker of literature strives to say a thing once and
for all time; while the journalist says it over and over, with
slight variations, every day or week or month. And since
ninety-nine per cent of the money paid out for written words is
paid for journalism, it follows that ninety-nine per cent of the
writers must be journalists, no matter what capacity they may have
to produce literature.
Literary Works
Literary works include nondramatic textual works with or without
illustrations. They may be published or nonpublished. Computer
programs and databases also are considered literary works. Plays,
dramas, and screenplays are not in the literary works category (see
Performing Arts page).
