Question

What kind of clothing should I wear?

Community Answer

Writers can wear anything, as long as they wear it with confidence. You can start with black clothing, a basic uniform for many writers. Some writers care about the way they dress, while others dress slovenly. Try finding a writer you admire and imitating his or her style.

Can a kid be a writer?

Community Answer

Of course, anybody can. You might want to wear something a little casual, and if you have glasses, definitely wear them.

Question

What should I wear if I can't wear most of these things to school?

Community Answer

If you can't, simply wear the glasses, and bring a little notepad. Even sticky notes would work for a to-do list. You could write a to-do list in your free time and people will see you writing.

Question

I'm launching my first book. My book is about a paleo chef who is very passionate about plant power. Should I wear the plants on my body, or dress casual writer style?

Community Answer

If you are appearing in person, do not wear anything that detracts from YOU and your message. If you're referring to what to wear in the picture for your book cover, the plants might be really eye-catching, while simultaneously calling attention to your passion for them. Readers have far more time to reflect upon how you present yourself than listeners.
