Hi Kechero, Thanks for the questions. I think its wonderful you are interested in becoming a writer. It is a definitely a very rewarding career as one of our own writers will agree too. Here are some online writing courses that I would recommend you consider taking to start learning about writing a fiction novel.

Online courses for fiction writing:

Some grammer and english writing courses would also be a very good way to start. Poorly written stories with lots of mistakes won't help you sell your stories. I would recommend:

About your masters degree, in order to obtain that you will first need to get your bachelors degree. Bachelor degree are always a prerequisite for starting a masters program.
