Can I Become a Published Writer?

Yes – the beauty of writing is that anyone can do it. All publishers are really interested in is how well you write – they are not concerned about your:

• age – publishers are not interested in how old you are, unless it’s integral to the writing, such as an article about your experience in the war years.
  
  
• location – you can be anywhere in the world as long as you have the means to send your work either hard copy or electronically to the publisher.
  
  
• back-ground – this is irrelevant in writing as anyone can write about anything, all you need is the ability to research well.
  
  
• culture – as with background, publishers are not concerned about what culture you come from.
  
  
• sexual orientation – another factor that is irrelevant to publishers.
  
  
• gender – you can be male and write fantastic stories or articles for women and vice versa, gender is not important.
  
  
• educational achievements – as long as you can write well publishers are not interested in what educational achievements you attained unless you hope to write as an ‘expert’ on a subject.
