Self Publish or Pitch?
I've heard it both ways: pitch your book. Self-publish. Which is better to do first? Publishers have declared they like unknowns, while others want authors with a following already? Which path is more lucrative and advisable for a young author just starting out? #write #writer #youngauthor #author #writing #publishing #selfpublish #teenauthor
How would a copyeditor know which "grammar" to use?
In the English language, there are so many different ways to use grammar, but there aren't any set rules on which ways are correct; it's more just a matter of belief (example: the Oxford comma). I realize that a particular university will teach their own beliefs about grammar, but I'm concerned about the workplace: what if a workplace wants to use grammar in a way my university didn't teach me? Or didn't want me to use? Thanks! #copyedit #copyeditor #grammar #write #english
How can you make a living off of being a writer? How do you become an established writer?
I've loved writing since the second grade and it has always been my dream goal to be a writer. However, since I know writing is not an easy career path to go down, I tend to lose inspiration for writing. I have other options in my mind, but if I want to stick with writing, I feel I need to know how I can make a living off of it. What have other writers done to get to the point where they can live off writing? What can I do? I've been writing on Wattpad for years, and I've won a local poetry contest before. I've also written a full-length high school play (90 minutes), and taken creative writing lessons. I'm not sure what else to do. #writing #author #write #screenwriting
