When I started down this path a mentor suggested that I start following The Author's Guild, and I have. I'm just a bystander at this point, but it seems they have been doing a lot of the work that most of us would want a professional organization to do - all but collective bargaining - and they've been at it since 1912. Am I wrong in thinking they have a voice that makes a difference? FWIW, Architects have been intermittently having this same conversation for decades. I think the goal of being properly compensated for creative work is common across the art world.
Fascinating.
