Is Your Writing Good Enough to Get Published?

There are all kinds of published authors. When we hear the word author, it conjures up visions of big thick juicy books that we can’t put down or dry boring textbooks that put us to sleep. However, every writer is an author, whether they are good or bad remains to be seen. There are many writers, but not all of them find their works printed.

That printing can be in the form of a printed book, a news article, a magazine article, an article published online, an e-book, etc. When your writing is exciting, engaging, and quality, you will find you have readers find you, read what you have written, and even share your essays.

Today, more than any other time in history, it is easy to become a published writer. No longer do you have to seek out a publishing company that’s willing to risk-taking on a new author, and remember every year they see thousands of manuscripts but print only a select number. Today, you can publish your books, thanks to several services offered online.
