How to Become a Professional Writer

Step to Writing as a Professional :

1. Do your research! See what’s interesting to read and what's not so interesting. You must find (or create) a need or strongly felt desire to read your words, thoughts and mental pictures.  Knowing what others will find interesting will make your writing better and help you to create "demand" for more.  Once you've established the basics of your purpose for writing, then read good works of your genre (kind of written work) that have won awards, for inspiration and to learn.
2. Choose your part of the publishing or entertainment industry to try to get your work published (or discovered): whether to write non-fiction: journalist, technical writer, biographer, science, social and philosophical - or fiction: including stories, books. But, of course poetry, song lyrics, plays and movie scripts can be of either fact or fantasy.Practice writing, and get knowledgeable people to read it, asking for and accepting constructive suggestions and seek "literary criticism": it is not personal criticism. Don't be hurt or argue.
3. Become a proficient writer with marketable ideas. Improve your skills, develop techniques, choose your type of literature and produce your best product by doing many tricky and creative tasks.Choose a definite audience (kids, "tweens", teens, young adults, adults, or mature citizens/seniors). Start writing what they will want to read!Use enough information for your topic and your kind of audience, such as for: building suspense, inspiration, forming logic, offering self-help, the characters, romance or present your humor. Otherwise, if you don't give needed detail or give too much, readers will be disappointed, minds will wander, quickly getting bored, and will not continue to pursue a "miss-mesh".\
4. Don't be overwhelmed; so break up your product: Write in chapters, units, verses, stories, episodes or acts to make it doable.
5. Be patient when you write or try to get "discovered"; not all of the plan, map, outline or plot will come at once. It may take a few weeks, months, maybe a year to put flesh on the skeleton of the body of your creative efforts! Just know that once you've sown the words, you can eventually reap a wonderful harvest, if you tend to your sentences, paragraphs/verses, leading correctly to the climax or other goal -- then self-publish at your expense -- or seek a publisher!
6.  Make the best use of your capabilities and sources. There should be no signs of halfhearted writing in your product. Everything should flow and have an impact on the reader. Edit your material, and don't be afraid to change some things to make it even better.When you're sure your creation is ready, be sure to make citations of sources and acknowledgements in a foreword, if you had any help or sources! You need to give credit to those who gave you or tended to your idea and not take all the glory for yourself (avoid plagiarism -- copyright violations)!
7. Copyright your work: See a copyright attorney. One common law copyright is established by mailing a work to yourself, which may or may not be a good idea. Copyright is a property right, created by the laws of a country that grant the creator of an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution, usually for a limited number of years (which may be able to be renewed), with the intention of enabling the creator (e.g. the photographer of a photograph or the author of a book) to receive compensation for their intellectual effort. Copyright is called an intellectual-property right (as patents, trademarks and trade secrets are also), of any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.
8. Cari penerbit atau layanan penerbitan online menggunakan Yahoo atau Google untuk memilih satu untuk digunakan. Pastikan itu salah satu yang Anda sukai dan percayai. Lihat apakah ada ulasan tentang layanan penerbitan yang Anda sukai, dan baca apa yang orang katakan. Jika mayoritas tampaknya memberikan peringkat yang baik, itu mungkin layanan yang ingin Anda coba! Jika tidak, terus mencari opsi bagaimana dipublikasikan.
9. Market your product! Make a marketing plan. It's a good idea to join a writers' group, or to hire an agent or an experienced writing or publishing marketer to help you with this part. And you can, of course, submit your works to various publishing companies to try to find one that will publish it and pay you.
