Question

Is it possible to be a famous writer without a highschool diploma or a college education?

Answer 1

if you're a good writer

Answer 2

Of course! you just have to be good enough.. u can write whether you have a diploma or not! You dont even have to be a certain age - Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was only 19 or something!

If its your passion and you're keen on following it.. go for it!

But being a little realistic.. a diploma would ensure your success a little better

Answer 3

There is no educational requirement to become a "famous writer." A basic understanding of grammar, spelling, and sentence structure is pretty helpful though. It also isn't particularly easy to get published (which is a requirement) and you might want to have some sort of career or even just a job to put some food on the table during the lean years. If you like to write, then you could always be an English major.

Answer 4

of course it is. both famous in a bad way or a good way.

stephen spielberg. he didnt go to a college but he's a renown film producer. and there are murderers that are famous. in a bad way.

so anyone can become famous. it just might be that graduating high school and going to college will open more opportunities for you. as long as you have an interesting story or a really really good writer, you can probably become famous. you can become an online writer and have your own website and become famous too.
