First of all, just what are you going to write for? Let's look at an imaginary day for an imaginary person. First thing in the morning the post arrives and, naturally, about 4/5 of it is junk mail, some of which goes straight into the bin but some of it you find interesting and you read through and who knows you might even buy something from it. If you do buy no one would be more delighted than the person who wrote the articles that attracted your attention. The newspaper then arrives and apart from the stories about the news, which of course someone has written, there are also articles about all sorts of subjects from arranging flowers to how to fix a roof leak. Again, someone has sat down and written these articles. The delivery van arrives and you're presented with your brand new mobile telephone; it does everything except make your cup of tea in the morning but no doubt engineers are working on that somewhere. The problem is it is as complicated as a binomial theorem but not to worry, there is an excellent information manual! Yep, another writer has had a nice cheque for writing it. Thinking about your telephone reminds you that it's time to ring the local kitchen fitters to get a quote for your proposed new kitchen; when they tell you how much it's going to cost you your hat flies off into the air and you decide it would be be far cheaper to go and buy a book about DIY and fit it yourself! A goodly proportion of the price you pay for the book will go to the writer.

And we haven't even mentioned holiday brochures, magazines, and even websites that we will normally look at through the course of an average day, all of which have involved a writer.

Okay, you're now convinced that the market is there; now how do you get started?
