Any writing skill comes from reading a lot. First step: read and read across genres; fiction, non-fiction, everything. It will get imprinted into your DNA, so to speak, you will begin to understand how writers write & think. Next, find a story or subject of your passion, nurture the thought, and let it flourish. Jot down ideas, plot points and slowly begin to give it a linear narrative. Practice: It is an essential step. Practice writing, even if it's for 20 minutes each day. The more you practice, the better you get at it. Lastly, how to be a published author today? Give your manuscript to a publishing house for review, and if they like it, u are in luck or else self publish ( pls google details too many) and sell your book on Amazon, Flipkart etc. Be a self-published author. It is an excellent option for beginners. read less

There are many ways to develop writing skills, of which the primary method is to increase reading habit a lot. The more one reads, the more they can write. Secondly, a creative writer needs to have an analytical view of everything, which makes him/her look at the events occurring around them with the third eye. Reading between the lines matters a lot. This analytical view pushes you to get a new and fresh perception of things that you can present in your prose, poetry, novel or any form of writing.Publishing a book has become one easy way in the current trend. You can publish a book through publishers like Notionpress who support independent writers and debutants. You can also approach Amazon Kindle, where you will also be able to publish both e-book and hardcopy of your writings. read less

Read a lot of good books. In parallel, start writing anything; just put your thoughts on paper and see how it comes out. Please do not stop, thinking it may be of poor quality. Just write!

reading is my passion...Now I think of trying my luck in writing. I need advice
You don't need to train yourself in anything to write, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many writers and so many writing genres. Just feel free to pen down whatever is coming to your mind and it will be a masterpiece, I guarantee! :)
