Should I Become a Writer?

How Can I Decide?

by Dianne E. Butts

In the more than ten years since I began writing for publication, many people have come to me asking how they can become writers. I enjoy sharing what I know about the writing profession with those who are interested. However, I have been surprised by how many people ask me for help and advice, then just seem to disappear.

Did they try writing and then decide they didn’t really want to be a writer after all? I wonder. Or did they try to write something, discover it wasn’t easy, then think they must not be "writer material"?

Did they get discouraged? Frustrated? Or simply stuck on something and didn’t know how to proceed?

Many people dream of writing novels or seeing their name on a by-line in a magazine. But what does it really take to become a published writer? Are you made of "writer material"? How can you know? This packet is designed to help those who are wondering if they have what it takes to be a writer.

Before you "take the plunge" into expensive writing courses, consider the basic requirements of any successful writer. This packet contains evaluation questions, answers to common questions, and valuable information to help you make an informed decision.

Includes: a special lift-out section for those desiring to write for Christian publications and publishers.

Makes a great gift for the wanna-be writer in your life!
