Anyone can write, but you have to practice first if you haven't written anything professionally yet. There are some sites such as Medium and Vocal Media that you can publish your writing on. You can write anything on those and if you get enough followers and reactions you can earn some money. It's more about the experience though. And follow AM1 advice. That's how you can start.

You could start by writing regularly to practice and improve your skills. Then, try reaching out to websites or publications that accept freelance submissions. Building a portfolio of your work will help you showcase your abilities to potential clients or employers.

You’ll need some education. Can’t go wrong with a newswriting/journalism course or two. You’ll need work samples. Get these through volunteer work. Good luck!

UPenn has a creative writing certificate program that's pretty thorough and not too long. It's focused on writing obviously, but there is alot of content and support with regard to how to go about getting your work published.

The first thing I would suggest is find your passion and write about it. Start a blog and work to find your voice.

What kind of writing are you looking to pursue? Writing is one of the most joyous things for me. I'm absolutely enthralled by it. Find out what kind of writing you want to get into, and start reading other types of works related to your writing before you begin. This will give you an idea of the possibilities you can encounter with it, as well as guidelines for styling and structure.

There is no money in writing.

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?
