How to Become a Writer or an Author?

[Yugocean]

In the olden days, to become a writer, one had to go around publishers and submit manuscripts to them. With the availability of online publishing platforms, writing has become a game for anyone.​

Select topic

To become a writer, you have to choose a topic. Romance, horror, comedy, suspense, thriller, suspense, science, history, etc. You can choose any topic that interests you.​

Choose a publishing platform

To market your article, you can choose any publishing platform that meets your requirements. Some popular examples are Kindle, Apple iBooks, Lulu, etc.​

Choose as per your revenue

Do not overlook your revenue requirements. For example, Lulu will pay 80% of the net revenue your book will earn, but there are also complaints about not paying royalties. Kindle Unlimited pays $.005 per page view, or royalties from Direct Publishing. Apple will take 30% of the revenue you will make, and there is no cost for publishing either.​

 

[Etini]

Writing is not what can be learnt. It is something that is inside a person. It is the ability of a person to be able to document his or her thoughts/ persuasions. Soto be a writer, you must be a great thinker. You must be able to analyse and draw out inferences from a situation.

 

[Yugocean]

Actually, writing is learnt, nothing comes as a free gift, ability is not birth based. There is every talent within a person, and one have to learn how to make that talent come out. One have to start writing, and will increase the quality with experience. I still remember writing day and night.
