With a flair for writing, professionals can try their luck in multiple writing jobs. Despite fulfilling their dream of writing their book and with the help of self-publishers they can use platforms of Amazon or elsewhere to publish their book- they can even work as ghostwriters and editors in different publishing houses.
Here are some of the types of writing jobs to apply for—
Ghostwriting
When anyone hires a professional writer to write anything on their behalf anonymously, then that is what ghostwriting is all about. As a professional writer, you can try working as a ghostwriter, especially for those genres that you are pro at. Stay in a close radius of popular publishing houses and self-publishing agencies offering ghostwriting jobs for freelancers despite applying for permanent positions. You can ghostwrite anything from children’s books to novels, press releases, articles, travel blogs, and more. Expect a handsome payment against each project with more experience you gain with time.
Columnist
Your analytical skills in political, sports or social activities can help you write columns in popular dailies. Even though the newspaper industry is a dying one with the massive growth of social media, you can contribute to online magazines, newspapers and elsewhere where people still show interest in reading humorous and well-explained columns from their favourite columnists.
Editors
Working as an editor at dailies or magazines is a prestigious job. You have also options to work with your excellent grip on any language at any publishing house. Presently, with the massive success of self-publishing, companies like White Magic Studios and many others are always in need of professional editors just like they have opportunities for professional book cover designers UK, illustrators, eBook converters and so on.
Novelist
Though you cannot consider being a novelist to be a full-time job in a technical sense, you can opt for this if you are too good with your creativity and along with a cover designer and book illustrators, you can create your own universe of characters. Are you inspired by the great Stan Lee or Stephen King? Then why not be a professional writer?
Whether you become a novelist, short-story writer or a manga or comic book writer, building an empire of your fantasy world can make you play with millions just like J.K. Rowling. Start with connecting with a good self-publishing agency to get access to every services needed for publishing your book.
Try your luck in any of these writing jobs to build your career.
