Question

Im wondering about career options.
I would like a career that lets me read books all the time...fiction books.

maybe a writer....but i don't think i'll ever be good enough....ha!
please give me suggestions!

and has anyone ever read books by robert Jordan? the wheel of time?
or
eragon the book....the movie is coming out soon and im soooo excited!

Answer 1

One of the reasons no one answers your questions is you don't ASK a question in your header. Look again at what you wrote. It's a statement, an accusation, and definitely not a question.

I suggest you forget writing, editing and publishing for now. Writers do not make a living from writing so that's not a good career option. You need to have another career to support you while you write.

I'm not sure how old you are, but I suggest you finish school first. You might try summer jobs at a bookstore or a library to give you more exposure to good books. Bookstores give discounts to their employees so that's a plus.

To improve your command of grammar, get the book The Elements of Style by Strunk & White. It's the best grammar book ever written and it's short.

If you are serious about writing, start keeping a journal. Every time you have a good idea, write it down. You can move from there to actually writing a story.

Answer 2

I would suggest being a literary critic or something of the nature; however, my experience has taught me that sometimes when you really enjoy something and make it your work, it becomes less enjoyable. I suggest reserving your reading to a hobby or book club and use it to relax and unwind after a long day. Your refuge if you will. You could organize a book club in your school or hometown that could keep you actively involved with other readers and with books but it wouldn't be an actually job which has a negative association. Yes I have read Robert Jordan (we're actually related!) and I definately enjoy his books (Nynaeve is my fav). I haven't read anything of his beyond the Wheel of Time. I haven't read eragon but i hear it is very good. Good luck with your career!

Answer 3

Library sciences are good but you may want to expand your literary horizons beyond fiction/fantasy to get there.
good luck

Library sciences can be more than just being a librarian. But there are some places where being a librarian would be very exciting.
I mean, the United States Government Archives needs a librarian.
You know, only the first floor of the building is visible to the public it has something like 5 or 6 sub-floors full of secret information.

Answer 4

If you don't care about grammar and good writing, you cannot be an editor. Especially in the entry-level positions, all you will do is proof-read and write copy. It is possible that you could get a job reading manuscripts for a publishing house, although they typically like people with experience editing and working in marketing or publication to do that.

Library science may be a good choice for you, as it requires less technical knowledge in the mechanics side of writing.

Answer 5

Jobs in the publishing industry involve a lot of time reading, but also require a lot of knowledge about grammar, spelling, punctuation and anything else related to writing. It is often very boring, especially if you're in an entry level position.

You could look into working as a librarian. They spend a lot of time reading, but don't need to be experts at grammar, punctuation and spelling. Or just working at a bookstore. But anything in the publishing industry will be very rigorous.

Answer 6

I have read The Wheel Of Time by Jordon. Liked it alot. Sometimes , when you love to do something, it can't develop into a career right away. You may have to do something else {maybe like a book store clerk or librarian until you can make your dream happen. Don't give up, just keep taking steps toward it.Don't count out other interests as jobs.That leaves reading as your mental health tool. Good luck.

Answer 7

you didn't specify this angle, but maybe you can find someone who wants you to read books aloud - nursing home, visually impaired, otherwise unable to read. do you like to read aloud?

I don't know how long you'll last in the work force if all you do is sit around reading fiction, but you could try working as a page in the library or a clerk in a bookstore.
maybe you'll have to sacrifice a bit & hone your grammar skills to land your dream job if editorial work is necessary.

post a card in the library/bookstores & start a reading club. get enough members paying you for your book lists / discussion meets & you can read to your heart's delight.

Answer 8

reading is way better the book continues u thinking and you get more detail in what folks are thinking and you simply have more imagination

Answer 9

Reading the book instead of observing the movie is the best way to see what the author expected. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can transform your life vocabulary

Answer 10

I would try Literary Critic....or maybe a professor? Critial Reading/Thinking?
