What is the best and cheapest way to get my book published and on the market??

I love to write and my dream is to become an author, so why would I wait until I’m older to get a book published? I want to self publish, but I feel like nobody’s going to discover my book that way.

Is writing a good personal statement necessary for admission?

Good evening respected peers. My name is Rachel, a college student. I am seeking admission to a good university nowadays. I have applied to 2 universities and they are asking me to submit my documents along with an admission essay or a personal statement. I wanted to ask if I write that, what should I include and what are the major things that I should avoid while writing it? At one point I think of getting help from a personal statement writer service. Should I do that? I really want to ace the admission and I don’t wanna fail just because of my sloppy writing.

What are some careers in journalism?

I'm interested in going into journalism, but am curious as to what paths I can explore in the field other than "news reporter" or "staff writer." What potential options are there? As well, what are some other aspects of journalism other than writing that I could think of going into (i.e. the web or media side)? I've heard that journalists themselves don't make a lot of money, especially starting out, so some career suggestions that make a decent amount of money would be helpful.

How can I start writing a book based on my life?

I am a Junior in college for my bachelors degree in creative writing and English. I always dreamt of writing my own book based off my life and maybe even turn it into a series of books as I grow older. As much as I can see myself in the near future publishing my first book, I do not know where to begin. This question was asked by a student who wanted to remain anonymous.

How do I prevent my self-criticism and self doubt get in the way of my writing?

Becoming a writer has been something that I've wanted to do since I was a little girl. However, I struggle with expressing myself, and I tend to become really critical of my work, and I usually give up. Is this a sign that I'm not meant to be a writer?
