Writer as priest

What if certain writers were like priests? Groups of readers -- dozens, hundreds, thousands -- formed a literary club and hired a writer to serve their needs. The writer was provided with a room and modest income, enough to live comfortably if not extravagantly. His or her job was to write work for the congregation of readers. This work would be published by the congregation's print on demand imprint and could be published nowhere else. Once a week the writer would speak to the congregation, perhaps reading work, or talking about a literary figure, or entertaining questions about literature and life. The writer also would be expected to give advice to budding writers in the congregation.
