Did you know that over 200 million books were sold in the UK last year?!
Lockdown may have brought complications and forced changes that no one expected but all the
time at home allowed people to delve into new hobbies and rediscover old favourites. Reading
has clearly picked up in recent years and so there has never been a better time to start writing yourself and become a writer.
Why you should write?
Get creative
Writing is a powerful form of creative expression that often gets overlooked. Everyone brings a
unique perspective to what they do, so even if ‘that story has already been told’ it hasn’t been told
by YOU! Individuality and personal experience are what audiences are looking for. They want something new, whether that’s re-interpretations of classics, from scratch fantasy worlds or autobiographies…there is no market that can’t be accessed.
Writing for wellbeing
There is a wellbeing value in writing too. It allows someone to freely think and bring those thoughts
into the physical world. Putting thoughts to paper is giving yourself time to process things and make
sense of it, almost like free therapy because you will learn a lot about yourself along the way.
Writing as a career
Potentially the most obvious reason to write is to make money.
The Publishers Association reported
that in 2021 £6.7 billion was made (up from 5% in 2020) which set a new record for the industry.
In content classifications:
- Fiction up 7% to £733 million.
- Nonfiction up 1% to £1.1 billion.
- Children’s books up 7`% to £425 million.
This is an amazing time for promoting and advertising due to the wide range of social media that is
readily available.
And finally…
The final reason we think you should write is because YOU ARE A WRITER! All you have to do to be a
writer is write, and even then, with speech to text technology you can even talk your story into
existence. The journey may be challenging in ways you haven’t dealt with before, but your writing
will only improve with practice and there will always be new genres or topics to explore.
