What qualifications do I need to be a writer?



That depends on what type of book are you going to write? If you are going to write a scholarly book, I would say credentials are important. Do you have to have a degree in Creative Writing in order to write? No. Writing comes from within, from the heart, something you were meant to do when you love writing and sit at the computer and can pluck away at the keyboard until before you know it, you've written a short story. 

I've taken courses in Creative Writing, a semester course in Writing For Profit, I've taken online blogging short schools through Yahoo and About.com. But with all of that said, while I did learn some tricks of the trade, I would say you don't have to have any particular credentials or qualifications to write creatively, especially if it seems as though you are a natural writer. 

I’ve been asked more than once what makes me an authority on honeybees or the subject thereof? I have also been asked what makes me think I can write a book about honeybees? What are your qualifications? Well, I will start with telling you I am not an entomologist. But for those of you who don’t know the answer, I will brief you… before and while writing Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do, we had many beehives in an apiary in Ohio where I lived on a 25-acre farm. Later in life, and when we lived in Maine for about four years, we had as few as one to two hives. I have been a natural beekeeper and photographer of the little buzzers for years– and am currently, an advocate, of our greatest pollinator and encourage beekeeping. Yes, Buzzzzzzzz What Honeybees Do, a nonfiction, was written by a beekeeper, me. The cover photo of Buzzzzzzz was also taken by an amateur photographer, beekeeper, and writer, me. I’m not proposing to be an authority or know everything about honeybees– but having been a beekeeper and photographer of honeybees for several years certainly gives me a qualifying factor for writing a nonfiction book about honeybees, so that is what I did.

If you would like to check out more of my nature photography visit my Instagram gallery.
