Lonnie Said:

what colleges and major will be good for a writing lover? please help.?

We Answered:

I was in the same position in HS and went to college for English Education (bc I was told not to go for Creative Writing). I changed my major after my freshman year to Writing with a minor in Communication. My dream was always to write for a magazine and with this major a scored a great internship at a lifestyle magazine!! If I were you, I would avoid majoring in Communication (make it a minor or a second major) because so many people go for it. Majoring in English writing will show employers you have the writing skills and minoring in Comm. will show them you have the design skills.
Much like you I hated journalism and with an ENGLISH major you avoid the journalism feel (unlike Comm majors). Trust me... when looking for internships they specifically told me that they prefer english majors over comm. majors.

If you need any more advice, feel free to email me. It's a great field and I hope you get to be where you want to be! :)
