ABSTRACT
More than many careers, writers for interactive media can learn the basics of the craft themselves. This is particularly true of social media writers, many of whom were creating social media posts since childhood. Unlike writing books or movies, one thing making it easier to break into interactive media writing is that you can easily publish examples of your own work. But just because you may have been creating social media posts or writing a blog since you were a kid, it doesn't necessarily mean that you are good at it. There are several ways to sharpen your skills more quickly than just trying to figure it out yourself. For example, getting some formal education in the field can help you advance faster and get a solid foundation in interactive media.
