Is Writing and publishing allowed on F1 or H1b visa?

Question

I am studing in a Univesity on F1 and will be applying for H1b in a couple of months.
I am also a writer -usually writing blogs, novels, short stories etc. I am also planning to get my book published, but not sure whether it violates any visa terms or not.

Also, can I participate in writing competitions? If I win, will that violate income terms or my visa ?

Answer 1

You earn revenue through book publication and you will not be able to do it with your H1b.
However, winning a writing competition should not be a problem.
