A Writer's Job

Picture


A writer’s job is exactly what it sounds like - it is to write!  The subject and the genre of the writing, however, is up to each individual author.  Depending on the writer’s purpose and interest, the writer can write stories, newspaper/magazine articles, scripts, graphic novels, poetry, guidebooks, editorials (opinion pieces), book reviews, instructional manuals, biographies, autobiographies, picture books, brochures, letters, etc. 





Project description

You will be a writer working on a writing project of your choice.  The subject and the genre of your project/piece will be up to you.  You will move independently through all the stages of the writing process and, at the end, you will publish your work to a wider audience.  Regardless of the subject and the genre you choose, you are going to write an artist statement as well.
