Sharpie is always working!
One of the more profitable forms of writing is to be a staff writer for a corporation, organization, or government agency. These jobs not only come with paychecks, but also usually with health insurance, retirement, and other amenities. Competition is stiff, however, so be sure your resume is not only top-notch (absolutely NO typos), but also includes a clear description of your credentials.
Generally, corporate writing jobs will be one of the following: technical writing, proposal writing, copywriting, customer service, or marketing. A college degree in a related field is almost always required.
Locate corporate or government writing jobs through traditional classified ads in newspapers, job web sites such as career builder or monster, associations you belong to (for instance, I belong to AWP and have access to their job site), or through your college. For government jobs, you can also check the web sites for the units of government or go to www.usa.gov
