Writing Careers

I think from my last post, I should also have a bit of a conclusion to the writing career. Besides Journalism and Communications there are hundreds of other writing occupations that you could major in.
Like:

  • Author- An author is broadly defined as "the person who originated or gave existence to anything" and whose authorship determines responsibility for what was created. Narrowly defined, an author is the originator of any written work and can also be described as a writer.
  • Blogger
  • Copy Editor-Copy editing (also copy-editing or copyediting, sometimes abbreviatedce) is the work that an editor does to improve the formatting, style, and accuracy of text.
  • Freelancer-freelancer or freelance worker is a term commonly used for a person who is self-employed and is not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term
  • Ghost Writer-Ghostwriter is a term used most often for a professional writer-for-hire -- of books, manuscripts, screenplays, scripts, articles, blog posts, stories, reports, whitepapers, or other texts. The finished product is usually, but not always, officially credited to another person, hence the term "ghost." The ghostwriter is often hidden, that is.
  • Journalist
  • Literary Editor
  • Poet
  • Screenwriter
  • Speech Writer
  • Technical Writer
  • Website Writer
There are many more Occupations you could try, If you look up Writing Occupations on Wikipedia you can find an entire list the definitions are also on that Wikipedia page.
