My name is Beckie. I'm a photographer, musician, and writer. I'm at PCC as an English major and am hoping to pursue a career as a writer and literary agent/editor. I'll be happy doing anything having to do with fictional prose, basically. However, I'm terrible at spelling. Isn't that odd?
So that's about it then.
Hi Beckie, What makes you want to be an editor or agent? At your age, I didn't even know what those jobs were. Do you have a family member in the business? It's a very smart goal.
ReplyDeleteThe editor thing goes back to the fact that I love reading other writer's work and providing feedback and outside perspective. I've always believed it to be essential in making any piece of art better, but especially so in literature. I used to be an instructor for a young writer's critique group, and I loved seeing how a few small details could change the entire dynamic of a piece. Basically though, I'm just fascinated by the writing world and want to be a part of it, not just with my own writing, but by helping other writers get their voice out there as well. And thank you :) (are smiley faces fobidden when using the blog for a class?)
