Why writing is important:

Strong writing skills can help you streamline different processes of your professional life as they enable you to present information clearly and concisely, making it easier to follow procedures and complete tasks. Writing is a powerful tool for self-expression and can be used to explore thoughts and emotions.

Improving your writing helps you to become a better communicator overall and it also improves your reading, which is another essential job skill.

Below are some jobs that you may like to do and would need writing skills to be successful.

Travel Writing

People who enjoy regular holidays and are lovers of language may consider making a career of travel writing. Travel writers write in various formats—including memoirs, journalistic articles, blogs and guides—to inform and inspire readers about popular destinations, local cuisines and global cultures.

Creative Writing

Creative writers use a blend of their imaginations and lived experiences to create poetry and fictional texts.

Speech Writing

Speech writers draft speeches for politicians, executives, public figures and other leaders. Speech writers must use exciting vocabulary to keep listeners interested.

Copywriting

Ads, emails, websites, social media campaigns—these all require copy, and it’s up to copywriters to create it in a way that captures and engages audiences.

Content Writing

Content writers contribute to web-based publications like blogs and media websites.

Screenwriting

Behind every film, play or show is a screenplay. And behind that screenplay is a writer (sometimes several) who drafts the characters, narrative, plot and setting that make the story a success.
