Question

If you enjoy working with words, then a career as a writer would be perfect for you. However, becoming a successful writer requires a couple of key steps.

The first step is to become a serious reader! Bestselling author Stephen King says, “If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write.” Reading the works of other writers will help you develop your skills and gain the tools to produce solid work. The next step is often going to college and studying English or journalism. Most employers want writers who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Some companies even prefer writers who have a master’s degrees.
