Hey sis, pursuing writing as a career can seem daunting but is totally achievable with the right strategy! Here are some tips:
- Networking is key. Follow publishing professionals on Twitter, join writing groups to meet local writers/editors face-to-face. You never know who may help your work get seen.
- Build your portfolio by publishing short pieces regularly. Submit articles/stories to literary journals, both online and print. Getting clips will help showcase your ability.
- Consider internships with publishers, magazines, etc. to learn the industry inside and out while making valuable contacts. Even unpaid starts help open doors.
- If you write fiction, complete full manuscripts. Query agents by following submission guidelines closely. Getting representation opens more opportunities.
- For non-fiction, propose article/book ideas to relevant publications or publishers directly using a well-crafted pitch.
- Enroll in writing workshops or courses to sharpen your skills and get helpful feedback. Many offer certificates to bolster your credentials.
Keep at it - the path has its challenges but with talent, drive and savvy networking, you'll get there! Feel free to DM me if you ever want advice or just to vent. You've got this!
