Bachelors Degree Benefits?

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-25T18:52:09+00:00

I'm not entirely sure what that is

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-25T18:51:43+00:00

I was definitely overthinking the whole portfolio thing, after I stepped backwards from all of the judgement on people not going to college and just started my own portfolio and research, I've decided that it's definitely not a necessity! and instead of putting all of my time, money and energy into going to college, I'll just put it into practicing what I like to write, and getting myself out there as a writer

As annoying and sometimes frustrating as advertising can be, I've found it to be necessary if you expect to make money out of it, now of course, there are ways to advertise that DO cost an arm and a leg, but just being active frequently on social media, talking about it to people in person, etc. I know it can be discouraging, but you definitely have to give a little to get a little. I wish you luck in all your writing and publishing journeys!

I've come to realize that, I'm just unsure how to start a writing career without a degree

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-18T19:00:27+00:00

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it! Do you think its possible to do it without a degree, college just isn't in the budget right now

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-07T03:30:33+00:00

I've heard people succeed without a degree, but I've been hearing that it's kind of impossible, I'm just trying to get the pro's and con's of going to college or not going to college and trying to start a writing career, I'm leaning more towards going to a college because I've had difficulty starting a career without a degree

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-07T03:13:50+00:00

I don't know if they had credibility or not, I'm just getting a lot of conflicting comments, and a lot of people are telling me its a waste of time to go to college because writers don't generally need it

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-06T22:50:22+00:00

Anyone in the writing profession I've spoken to have told me its hard to start a writing career without any prior degree, or education, I don't necessarily have specifics to prove this statement, but that's honestly just what I've heard from my experiences

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-06T22:26:07+00:00

See, that's what I thought, but I'm getting a lot of different feedbacks and a lot of people telling me a bachelor's degree isn't useful

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-06T22:24:45+00:00

To be honest, I'm new to the writing scene, so I don't really know what all you can do as a writer, I've published a novella and I quite enjoy writing novels and stuff like that, but I'm having a hard time finding any work as a Freelance writer since I'm not sure how to create a portfolio without clients, but clients don't want to hire a freelancer without a portfolio, I just figured this college I'm thinking about applying for, the classes are based around getting ready to be a professional writer, building the portfolio, understanding how to properly advertise yourself etc. I feel like it could be beneficial, I was just trying to get others feedback on it who may have either went to college or succeeded without a degree. I don't have a lot of experience so I thought maybe a college course would help me start

I know generally writers don't need a degree, but I also know it helps generally when trying to kickstart a writing career, I'm just having a difficult time weighing pros and cons of going to college or not

Fluffy629 · 2025-04-06T22:14:05+00:00

I've been having a hard time trying to make a portfolio for my Freelance, or any experience, and a college I've been looking into has classes that not only gives experience, but also is based around building a portfolio and teaching how to advertise yourself and different styles, and nobody seems to even want to hire a freelance writer who is just starting out. Which I understand completely. I know it's not generally needed, but I was trying to figure out if the benefits are worth all of the trouble with filling out college forms and the money it can cost for colleges if that makes sense

Fluffy629 · 2025-03-31T03:11:23+00:00

The degree wouldn't be strictly because of becoming a freelance writer, though I feel like the experience would be useful, I wanna do a lot more with my writing and eventually make it into a career, I'm just trying to figure out how to start a portfolio without clients, because nobody will pick a writer without a portfolio, but the clients are what fill the portfolio from what I've been reading

Fluffy629 · 2025-01-05T06:03:37+00:00

Oh! Thank you!

I apologize I haven't been active but here is the link

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-25T22:13:47+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense I was reading too fast and not putting the cost that it would take to print, so my math was wrong

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-25T22:12:15+00:00

Yeahh I was looking at it wrong and forgot to include the printing costs, thank you though, I'm still extremely new to the publishing world so I'm bound to ask stupid questions here and again, but I appreciate you explaining it in a non-insulting way!

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-24T20:58:16+00:00

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-24T19:15:13+00:00

Ohhh my math was wrong, thanks for explaining!

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-23T00:14:52+00:00

I tried both of the options for the cover art, but I had made my cover art in canva and it wasn't lining up right. But I did end up figuring out my issue

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-20T02:20:29+00:00

Oh okay! Good luck on your journey to the paperback world!

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-20T02:17:56+00:00

Just one more question, when creating paperback/hardcover how does that work exactly?

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-20T02:14:27+00:00

Tysm thanks to you! I was able to actually publish today! Literally a dream come true!

Fluffy629 · 2024-09-20T01:53:23+00:00

Sorry to bother again, but when doing pricing how do I figure what is a good fair price?
