- There were days when people used to say that writers don’t earn any money and writing isn’t a real profession but just a hobby. A lot of time when people who loved writing told that they indeed want to pursue writing as a full-time profession, they were mocked upon and told how writers fail and there’s no career in writing.
- But times have changed and just like many other career options like YouTube, influencer marketing, social media, writing has also emerged as a new big industry in India and all over the world. Many people today earn their life from the field of writing.
- With growing online presence most companies now need websites and blogs of their own to showcase their products and services and these sites need a lot of good writing. That’s where the need for writers have processed as a legitimate profession.
- Also, apart from the new fields in writing, there remains the oldest writing profession that ever existed- Book writing. Many people today are writing their books, becoming novelists and authors and earning royalties.
- Book writing could be one of the best career one could try to build in today’s internet savy world. On Amazon’s KDP there are so many authors who regulary update their books and sale thousands of copies online and earning great money on them.
- Book writing can also, open many other fields for the writers. For example many authors now get picked up for writing web series and movies too. Many books are converted as well as a motion picture on Ott or big screen.
- Many sites let you write and publish books these days. Gone are the times where a writer had to run behind many traditional publishing houses to get their work published and used to face many rejections.

- Creating a career in book writing needs a lot of creativity and patience. Writing a good book with a unique storyline is a must if you want to develop a good career in writing. Skills as a writer should be brushed up and enhanced. Understand the fact that just like most other professions, writing too has a lot of competition now.
