How does one get to be an author?

answers1: Write something, then submit your manuscript to a publishing
agent. Writer's and Artist's Yearbook can help you find a suitable
one. <br>
<br>
Most importantly, don't write to become an author, become an author
because of your writing.
answers2: Here are a few websites that pay for your stories. <br>
<br>
www.seed.com-- they pay by the story and sometimes they don't accept
it(bummer..) <br>
<br>
www.associatedcontent.com--they pay by page views, and accept almost
any story. <br>
<br>
www.odesk.com--this site has a lot of jobs, you can get paid hourly
for, or a fixed price. This site requires that you take a few tests to
show you are a good writer. But just check it out! <br>
<br>
Good luck becoming an author, I hope this helped. It won't make you a
best-seller, but it will show you how the industry works I guess..
answers3: write a book
answers4: Well you should try to publish some of your work. <br>
<br>
Some people say writers that are unpublished are authors but I
disagree. If you actually make money from your work then you're an
author. <br>
<br>
Look up some companies for your genre and try it out.
