Become a Professional Writer

If you love to write, why not become a
professional writer and get paid
for your passion?

If you want writing to be your profession, your services will always be in demand by anyone who needs to:

  • Promote their products and services
  • Deliver information
  • Develop fresh, original copy for special events
  • Keep accurate, clearly written records

You can even pursue a career as a professional ghost writer for fiction works, screenplays and other creative projects. Many people have good ideas but no time or inclination to develop them. Often an entrepreneur needs to have a book as an expansive "business card" or presentation piece. It's a great relief to find a professional writer to ghost that book for him.

A few of the places where you can market your professional writing services are:

  • Publishing companies
  • Marketing companies
  • Advertising companies
  • Publicity agencies
  • On line and off line newspapers, magazines, newsletters and other news and feature publications
  • Television
  • Film
  • Medical and legal corporations & associations
  • Graphic arts companies
  • Entertainment industry
  • Libraries
  • Universities
  • Non-profit organizations (grant writing)
  • Politics (speech writing and document preparation)
  • Government
  • Other corporate businesses

You only learn to be a better writer by actually writing.
—Doris Lessing

"Elbow grease"--hard work--is one of the basic requirements for becoming a professional writer. By now you may have already learned that there's a difference between long hours of work in front of the computer and a magic wand. You can have all the passion in the world, but to become a professional writer, it is so important to harness that will to the wheel!

A professional writer also works efficiently, sets goals and gets the job done. And like all professionals, they are accountable or responsible because they take themselves seriously.

Be flexible and diversify. Learn many different writing techniques and styles and be prepared to say yes to a large variety of writing assignments. The best way to become a professional writer is to build a dossier of clients from many different walks of life--and don't forget to collect testimonials!
