Creative Writing Careers

The world is full of possible creative writing careers for young writers! Beyond strong writing skills, each career path has its own skill set and requirements – so it’s important to understand the unique characteristics of each type of writing. That way, you can then shape your education and experience to better fit your prospective career.

If creative writing is your passion, then you’d probably enjoy creative writing careers in which you could spend all day (or at least most of the day) pursuing that passion.

But creative writing is an artistic pursuit, and we all know that creative writing careers in the arts aren’t easy to come by.

It takes hard work, drive, dedication, a whole lot of spirit, and often, a willingness to take big financial risks — as in not having much money while you’re waiting for your big break.

When we think of people who make a living through writing, novelists and journalists come to mind immediately.
