"As a child, I wanted to be a writer and create fun books that would make people smile. As a teenager, I wanted people to read my words and gasp in wonder as my creative genius permeated their soul. As I settled into adulthood, I just wanted to make some money…" Making money from writing is the dream for many – but it can also feel highly elusive. In a world that's saturated with mediocre writers and mindless AI bots ready to steal your work, in 2024 it feels even more difficult to get paid for your writing. But it's very doable – and that's what this book will help you achieve.

This is the insider advice he would give to a friend over coffee.
