A Writer, or Staff Writer, is in charge of expressing ideas through text according to a set of specifications or a particular style. Their duties include researching their subject, proofreading their drafts and updating a writing project based on client or Editor feedback. Typically, becoming a Writer requires at least a bachelor’s degree in English language, English literature, media and communications, journalism, creative writing or related fields. In some cases, an associate degree or even a GED is acceptable. However, Technical Writers will benefit from a degree in their area of specialization. Creative writers may equally benefit from a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) program.
