How do I get published internationally as a minor?
I'm 14 and working on a few stories and want to get them published one day (under a pseudonym). I live in the Philippines and doubt that it would get much attention here, but I think it could sell more in countries like the US or mainly-English-speaking countries in general. Should I self-publish? Look for an agent? Go to publishers? How do I market my stories?
Fashion designers and writers, what are your opinions?
I am just starting college and am thinking about pursuing a career in fashion designing or writing (novels, fiction, articles). If anyone from either of these career paths sees this, what does a day to day life look like for you? How did you get started? What education did you receive? Was the job you chose anything like you were expecting?
Where can I find feedback on my poetry and other forms of creative writing?
I would like to get feedback on my writing in order to improve it. Especially for when I want submit pieces to literary magazines. I want to know if there are online communities I should join or websites I should look into. Ideally I would like to get feedback for free, but maybe could work out a small budget.

Is there a profession out there that's an equal balance between creative writing/publishing and biomedical science?
I am torn between majoring in English and Biomedical Science/Engineering. I love to write stories and strive to become an editor for a publishing company/fiction author or screenwriter, but I also love genetics and would love to be a genetic engineer and researcher (see the details from my previous question.) My parents don't want me to pursue an English degree because the profession "isn't that lucrative" and I'd spend a long time working my way to steady earnings, but they also want me to find a job doing what I love. They've suggested technical writing, but I fear that technical writing could also mean less creativity when writing instruction manuals or scientific journal articles. Any suggestions or advice from real-world experiences? #creative-writing #technical-writing #writing #news-writing #editor #writing-and-editing #fiction-writing #science-fiction #creative-non-fiction #fiction #copy-editing #publishing #genetics #biomedical-engineering #biomedical-science #career-path #screenwriting #author #creative-writing #double-major #dual-career #multiple-interests #english #communications #grant-writing #proposal-writing #career-path #career-choice #career-decisions
What jobs besides fiction author could I use an English degree with specialization in creative writing for?
I've always had narrow interest revolving around fictional/fantasy ideas but I know that it's rather difficult to become successful in that area though I will try. I want to have some sort of back up plan if things don't work out for me that has at least some of my interest involved. #english #writer #creative-writing #future-careers #fiction-writing
