Do you want to be a Writer?
For the people who answered no, we wonder why you clicked the link. For the the rest of us, we have 10 easy steps to become a writer. Help us help you! We need content, you need motivation to unleash your creativity. We only ask you bring a comprehension of the English language, a desire to be better, and a small amount of dedication.
Step One
Read previously posted editions of the ANF article “Americans You Should Know”.
Step Two
Write 1000 to 2000 word “American You Should Know” Column.
Step three

Step Four
After review by American NonFiction Staff, Editors will tell you to rewrite it and rewrite it you shall.
Step Five
American NonFiction awards you a contributer account to ANF.
Bone up on your grammar, review our grammar guide Politics of Words or buy a copy of William Strunk JR. and E.B. White’s “The Elements of Style”
Step Six
Write monthly, (or weekly, if you’re up to the challenge), piece for ANF
Step Seven
Edit monthly piece for ANF
Step Eight
Repeat steps six and seven until completion ( which is anyone’s guess, but like all art, you know it when it is ready or the deadline is up.) and watch your words posted up on the Internets. Rejoice, you are now a published author in some way, shape, or form of the English language.
Step Nine
Repeat steps six through eight, every month (or week, for the real burn) until you get a letter from a writing agent or publishing house.
Step Ten
Join me for drinks on my beach house; which coast? Why not both?
That is all you have to do. You could be a working writer at some point. The ten steps are easy to type out but the journey is long. While this is a hair brained scheme to get you to write for me. I want you to ask yourself, why not American NonFiction? You want to be a writer but all you do is sit around, play video games, or watch T.V. Here at American NonFiction, we know procrastination. The hardest part of writing is the act of writing. ANF could be your reason to sit down and type words into a word processor like it is mine.
We would never ask you to do something we are unwilling to do. We posts everyday and will continue to do so. We provide the game plan from our own handbook and we offer it to you, because doing the right thing is what we strive to accomplish here at American NonFiction.
Thank you,
MGT
