Professional Writers and their titles

Professional writers have many different titles due to the fact that there are so many different fields for professional writers to work in, but three job titles that professional writers could have are corporate writers, editors and authors. A corporate writer is someone who writes for a corporation in fields such as marketing communications and public relations, technical writing, and internal communications. Editors look over a writer's work, offer suggestions and propose revision ideas. An editor can also plan specific publications, decide what readers would be most interested in and oversee certain publications. An author is either a fiction or nonfiction writer who creates original material for many different types of publications.

For me the most interesting aspect of professional writing would be learning the finer points of fiction writing so that I can one day work in a publsihing house. More specifically, the editing aspect would be what I wanted to learn more about so that once I graduate I can find work in a publishing house as an editor of some kind.
