Is a degree course the only option for someone who wants to be a professional author? No, would be my answer, in a word. It is however one of the many options available, and there's a lot to be gained from it. My tutors at university were the first real life authors I had ever had access to in person, and that alone was worth it. It was inspiring and informative, and my writing developed a lot during my three years on the undergraduate course.
