How to Become an Expert Writer in Any Field Article by John Hewitt Nothing can replace four to eight years of college study and years of industry experience, but to be a writer for an industry, you rarely need such a high level of expertise. A writer's best tools are the same as in any field, years of study and experience. Your experience happens to be in the field of writing. Once you decide to write for a particular specialty, however, you need to do some catching up. After that, you will have to gain knowledge the way they did, through experience.
Every industry has specialized magazines.
These are a prime target. If you can't afford all the magazines, at least try to find a library that carries them. Study the way the articles are written as well as the information they provide. Bookmark these pages, or better yet create your own page so that you have the information ready to access and available to help others. Buy them if possible so that you can set up your own reference library.
