[Edit this paragraph] Professional qualification of freelance writer
According to the professional characteristics of freelance writers, we believe that only the following aspects are qualified, and you have the basic "qualification".
1, you must have the most basic literary skills or the minimum ability to express words. If the language expression ability is poor, no matter how good the idea is, it can't be written. If you barely express your meaning clearly in poor language, but lack expression skills, it is equivalent to creating text garbage.
You should have enough writing time. If you write full-time, you should be prepared to devote yourself to your work. Although there is the word "freedom" in your career, you must strive for your own goals, that is to say, there is only relative "freedom". If you are writing part-time, you should consider whether the first job allows you to take this second job.
3. Be good at observing and thinking. No matter what kind of article you are engaged in, the material comes from life. An excellent freelance writer will always find something that can form words and sell well from his life.
4. Be good at collecting and sorting out information. In view of the characteristics of the types of manuscripts to be written, we should attach importance to and fully collect this information. Take notes or back them up on your computer if necessary. In this way, when writing, you won't worry about not finding the right material.
5. Have the spirit of study. In addition to constantly learning the basic skills of writing, we should also learn from newspapers, magazines and readers. Just like other business activities, only by in-depth study of customers can we promote products faster and more.
6. Be patient and have the confidence to stick to it. Generally speaking, at the beginning of freelance writing, I always write more and write less, and sometimes even the manuscripts are like mud cows in the sea, but this is almost the only way for every successful freelance writer. Only by biting your teeth and sticking to it can you gradually gain a foothold in this industry.
7. Have a certain calligraphy foundation or be able to write on the computer. If you don't even want to read the written words, you'd better not fantasize about making the editor frown and revise the manuscript to help publish.
8. Have a certain legal awareness. On the one hand, you can protect your intellectual property rights from infringement according to law, on the other hand, you should be familiar with the relevant regulations on writing and submitting, and don't get yourself into a lawsuit because you write a manuscript to make money. Of course, you can also ask some unruly newspapers and periodicals for their due remuneration according to law.
With the above points, you can now try to engage in freelance writing.
A writer is an accomplished person who takes writing as a worker and engages in literary creation.
The earliest "writer" means managing housework. This sentence can be found in the biography of the Three Kingdoms: "Please compare with a writer in order to serve the public"; "Book of Jin, Records of Food Goods" says: "(Han) Emperor Huan can't be a writer, but he can be selfless. This shows that from the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty, "writer" refers to "managing the family". Emperor Huan of Han lived in poverty before he ascended the throne. There is no private savings because of poor housekeeping and financial management.
The word "writer" began to change its meaning in the Tang Dynasty. According to "Taiping Guang Ji" written by Li Japan in the Northern Song Dynasty, "Wang Hao of Emperor Taizong wrote an inscription with others, and someone gave Run Hao (remuneration for writing) and knocked on Wang Weimen by mistake, saying,' The great writer is over there.' This is why people who made outstanding achievements in literature and art in the Tang and Song Dynasties were called "writers". Li Dongyang, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, said in Poems at the Foothills: "In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was said that most writers were in Qin Jin." It is said that most of the "writers" listed in the Tang Dynasty were from Shaanxi (Qin) and Shanxi (Jin).
According to the theme of creation, writers mainly include poets, essayists, novelists, playwrights and theoretical critics. There are also writers classified according to their writing contents, such as serious literary writers, such as Tie Ning, Zhang Xianliang, Jia Pingwa and Li Jishun. Popular writers, such as Wang Shuo; Emotional writers, such as Gong Wen; Romantic novelists, such as Qiong Yao. Judging from the writing tendency, there are writers who have physical writing, such as Wei Hui and Mianmian. According to age, there are post-70s writers, such as Annie Baby and Li Jishun. Writers born after 1980s, such as Zhang Yueran, Zhou Jianing, Deng Andong and Li Ziyue. According to personality, there are "bamboo, a mysterious wild beauty writer on the main peak of Daba Mountain" and "old village of clay doll writers". Writers also have certain organizations, such as the Writers' Association. Its highest leading body is the Chinese Writers' Association, which has branches in various provinces and cities to help and guide writers in writing.
With the changes of the times, the deepening and development of China's market economy reform and the rapid development of network information, a special living environment for the post-80s generation has been created. The post-80s writers, represented by Zhang Yueran, Haruki, Jing M.Guo, Deng Andong, Han Han, Mei Yong, Guo Ao and Qu Tao, began to continue from a new angle with their unique writing style.
