I find myself in a similar boat!.

I'm not too sure about what classes you'd need (KJ Rowling originally wrote Harry potter on napkin pieces so I'm guessing education is a give or take thing,!.!.!. though I'm sure most people can out do Harry potter)
I'd say any creative writing classes and honors English is a plus ads they make you write more

Fanfiction!.net is a good place to write stuff based off of already written things!.!. if you're open enough you can usually find someone who's a good help!.!.!. fictionpress is okay but it's not visited often!.!.!.!.but with either you get more practice and an idea of what readers like!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can start out by entering a piece of writing in the newspaper or magazine or internet,and oif they think itss pretty great,they'll probably want to interview you or something!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
