Asking the question, Is Everyone an Author, is like asking, is a square a rectangle? The answer is yes. Everyone has the potential to be an author, but it takes hard work and dedication to become a renowned author. A student may write a short story for a class assignment, but the story is not ready to be publicized immediately for the whole world to be seen. True, there can be works of literature that are seen by many across the world, but that doesn’t make a person a full-fledged author, merely an author in the makes.
To become a true author you have to dedicate time and energy into bettering your writing abilities. It may seem hard, and sometimes impossible to grow from that naïve student that writes from the child inside, but if you have the willingness to persevere, someday that short story can become a published piece of work. Through this perseverance, comes the willingness to learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward in your writing, soak up all the constructive criticism that you can, and apply it to your work. Everyone has the potential to be an author, only the people who have the desire make the prestigious group of authors.
