Hiring Practices

Most employers prefer to hire writers who have at least a bachelor's degree. Some employers prefer applicants who majored in English, communications, or journalism. Employers who specialize in a certain area, such as science or legal issues, require applicants to have additional experience or study in that area.

Employers look for writers who can express ideas clearly and logically. They also look for creative, knowledgeable, and self-motivated workers who can meet deadlines.

Advancement Opportunities

Writers have many options for advancing. Those who work in small firms may begin writing material right away. In larger firms, jobs may be more formally structured. Beginning writers often begin with researching, fact checking, or copyediting. As they prove themselves, they are given writing assignments. Some writers advance to working on more difficult projects for their employers.

Many writers become self-employed. They choose the projects they want to work on. Some write about what interests them and try to find buyers.
