Writing and Selling Your Words

According to Statista, in 2018 there were 45,200 working writers and authors in the US. Only 21 percent of full-time published writers earned a hundred percent of their income from their book sales.

Some writers are first time writers. Others are published authors.

Writing and selling your words and publishers paying for them is a business.

Whether you’re a new writer or a seasoned writer, it’s always a good idea to keep current and learn about the publishing world and the business of writing.

Many of us devour everything we read about how to write, be a better writer, get published, and turn our words and work into money.

Attending writing workshops and conferences is another way to learn more. Attending a free talk hosted by a local writers’ group is even better.

In this piece, I share 12 steps to getting published that I learned from an expert in the writing and publishing industry during a talk hosted by the writers’ group I belong to.
