| Writing has been a passion
for many. Writers can be authors, scriptwriters,
poets, journalists, technical writers,
instructional writers, and many more.
There is creative writing for all those
who have great ideas and want to write
in a different and unusual way. For example,
writing the story of Cinderella as viewed
by the ugly sisters. Or how the elephant
got its trunk or even how the chocolate
factory became real and so on. These kinds
of writers are in great demand especially
in the field of advertisement and media.
So just sit in front of your PC and start
writing now. |
| |
| I have good knowledge
of the English language, how do I make
it my career? |
|
Good knowledge of English
definitely helps but education and qualification
is always a plus point. General requirements
include a college degree in journalism,
English, communications, or technical-writing
field. Demands for writers and editors
have reached an all-time high with the
expansion of sophisticated services
and publications over the internet.
As a writer or an editor you should
have a strong love for writing and be
able to clearly express your ideas in
the form of words. So with your great
knowledge background there are lots
of options to work in an organization
that will require creative writers,
poets, lyricists, novelists, screenwriters,
web content writers, technical writers,
instructional writer and designers,
etc. |
|
| What are the areas
where I can find a job? |
|
| Employment rates are likely
to grow drastically in the future. However,
writing and editing jobs will continue
to maintain high competitiveness due to
the job’s high appeal. Publication
firms, advertising agencies, media houses,
corporate firms, IT industries, government
agencies, etc., are the areas where you
can look for jobs.
Writers with a specialized knowledge
such as IT, medicine, economics, or
law generally have the best opportunities
for job placement. This is largely due
to the growth and discovery of technical
and scientific information. Workers
with both writing and technical knowledge
are needed to translate instructional
and training material for the general
public. So any organizations that require
writers or content developers (as they
are popularly known) can be contacted
for employment.

| |
| What will my salary
structure be if I choose this profession? |
|
| A fresher with English language
as the major subject in college or a Bachelor
of Arts with Literature will get paid
anywhere between Rs.10,000 to Rs.13,000
per month. Again as you gain experience
you can expect over Rs.15,000 to Rs.25,000
per month after two years of writing experience.
You can also move up the corporate ladder
by becoming a senior writer, content manager,
content coordinator, knowledge manager
and so on. |
| |
| Can I work from home
or take writing as a side profession? |
|
| Yes, as a freelance writer
you can work from anywhere if you have
laptop or a PC. You can sell your material
or your works to different advertising
firms, publications, and department agencies.
You can also contact a publisher if you
want to write a certain article, book,
or about a product. You can be an editor
too and revise and rewrite another writer’s
manual or work. There are many websites,
which provide jobs for freelance writers.
You can just give a search in Google and
voila! You will be left with ample websites
that provide the option for working from
home. |
