Can’t get what it means.
If you want to be successful as a writer, you must be able to describe well in a way that will cause your reader with a prickle with recognition. If you can do this, you’ll get paid for your labors. But if you can’t, you’re going to collect a lot of rejection slips and perhaps explore a career in the fascinating world of telemarketing.
Does the underlined part suggest (A) or (B)? I wonder which interpretation is correct.
(A) Other jobs, such as a telephone operator, are available for you( but not a writer)
(B) You’ll end up making a phone call to sell your books
