As the title suggests, Creative Writing Career is a book covering a broad spectrum of the creative world. It is not a book just for the novelist or the screenwriter, but for anyone who feels inclined to write in any field. This all-inclusive tone makes it a go-to handbook for those who want to get started, but don’t know how. Don’t mistake my words though. This is not simply a book on how to write, but a guide on how to become a professional writer. Anyone can write at anytime. You can write in the basement of your parent’s house or you can write on your lunch break at your 9 to 5. What this book attempts and succeeds at doing is giving practical advice on how to harness a love for writing into a viable, paying career.Perhaps the greatest asset on display here is the inspirational tone. Self-help books penned by established writers are typically cynical in tone, whether they mean to be or not. While it is true that writing is a difficult career path, especially if you value financial security, it does not mean it is not one worth pursuing. This is where the author excels, by making the goal always within reach. This is not delusion or false hope, but rather motivating. Many who want to write never do for they give up before they’ve even started. Success is not guaranteed, but it is made ever possible through the advice presented.Yes, I stated that when many writers reflect back on the hardships of their career they do so with an almost discouraging note. The author does not shy away from the advice of experienced writers though, knowing that their careers can act as valuable guides for those hoping to follow in their footsteps. Interviews are interspersed throughout, making for a nice break between chapters.
