Seventeen Magazine Short Stories
how do i get started in this?
i want to get into writing, i did not study wring at colledge or university but i have always been very good at it. is there a way to get started in this industry without having the oficiall qualifications? i have looked into submitting a short story into readers digest but im not sure if this will help my career atall, also as a child i had my poetry published in a chldrens book from a competition i entered, is this worth putting in my resume? eventually i would love to write a column for a magazine such as more or seventeen etc, but i dont know what step to take to get my foot on the first rung of the ladder. please advise me where to go from here 
Ph and please take into account i live in the UK xx
If you want a career as a professional writer decide in which environment, write lots, submit it and be a pushy nuisance until you get an opportunity. That’s about it really.
Newspapers ALWAYS want feature content btw. Phone them up and tell them you’re a feature writer and you have content. That’s a good start.
