Career

For those who choose to write for the workplace, there is increasing demand for proposals, manuals, internal communication pieces, client newsletters, website copy editing, social media content management, sales brochures, press releases, and advertising copy writing.

Internships at community colleges and at various media outlets provide a pathway to a fulfilling full-time or part-time career.

For those who prefer to write fiction or nonfiction—be it for adults, young adults, or children—writing can be financially rewarding and personally enriching.

As information and ideas proliferate, the need to communicate rapidly and effectively also increases. Writing is the lifeblood of any technically advanced society, because information is its most important and fastest-growing product.
