HOW TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL WRITER
1. Learn not only how to write; but learn about the industry, where opportunities are to be found and how to capitalise on your strengths.
2. Get the right attitude -many aspiring writers fail because they either have too much or too little ego
3. Get involved -study, join a writers group or professional body, submit work and persist
