A Writer requires at least one year of experience for most positions. They should be familiar with carrying out research and assigned topics and transforming that information into a cohesive piece for audience consumption. Writers should be comfortable with creating content based on assignment briefs and style guides. They should have proven experience delivering high quality work and keeping to deadlines. In addition, they should be able to take editorial feedback and use it to refine their work.
Depending on your qualifications and interests, you may work for a newspaper, a healthcare company, a marketing agency, or a research facility, either as a staff writer or a freelancer. About two-thirds of writers are self-employed according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. A good writer makes content easy to read (so you need to know how to use a comma). She uses straightforward language that engages and entertains the reader, making comprehension effortless. Good writing skills are part of the art of effective communication.
