Hi! My name is Patricia Shirra and I'm a writer for teens and young adults. I enjoy writing fiction novels and short stories. I am also a mom of two who are much of my inspiration for writing. I have been a Freelance Educational Writer since 2005. I authored ten lessons for a Pre-K/K Math Teacher's Resource Guide for use with Learning Resources® Math manipulatives (Schawk Publishing Solutions, Evanston, IL.) I welcome you to become a follower of my blog and please leave a comment. Thank you, Patricia

An Author Doesn't Just Put Words on Paper

Being an author means so much more than just putting words onto paper. Being an author means to …


CONCEIVE ideas,

ORGANIZE thoughts,

RESEARCH facts,

CREATE pieces,

EDIT works,

SOLICIT publishers,

SELL manuscripts,

MARKET wares, and

MAINTAIN platforms.


So, if you were one who thought being an author was simply putting words onto paper, think again.

  1. So true! I agree there's so much more to it than just the words.

    P.S. I sent you an email via your post on Verla Kay and totally missed that your blog was listed until I read it again!

  2. Yes, writers are called on to do a lot more than just writing.
