Focusing only on academia?
I think the influences writers experience affect
their writing for good OR ill whether these relate
to an academic or non-academic environment.
I don't think we should deny the good that might
come for a writer if he or she is employed in an
academic environment.
Also, recognizing that academics may relate to
each other easily, forming a group, which I find
is natural, we might consider that those who are
non-academics seem to form their own group as
well. The influence of a non-academic group
is not always for the good of a writer.
Some writers are able to rise above this pressure
or biases of groups as others are not.
We all make our own decisions relative to our
influences and hope for the best for our writing.
