Any writing skill comes from reading a lot.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Be a self-published author. It is an excellent option for beginners.
