How To Make A Living With Your Writing


How to Make a Living from your Writing 3D

Would you like to leave your job and make a living with your writing?

This book will show you how.

Named as one of the Top 100 Business Books of 2015 by INC magazine.

I spent 13 years working as a cubicle slave in the corporate world. I was miserable in my job and my creativity was stunted by the crushing daily grind.

Then I started writing books and blogging, using my words to create products and attract readers.

In September 2011, I left my corporate job to become a full-time author and creative entrepreneur and since then I've grown my business year on year – all based on my writing.

More importantly, I'm finally living the happy life I always wanted.

I'm not a Kindle or blogging millionaire and this is not a get rich quick scheme. But I will share with you how I make a six-figure income from writing books, blogging and marketing in an ethical manner.

This is the best time ever to make a living with your writing! Read on to learn more.

Reviews

“an exciting and interesting read. It’s a book to encourage and inspire, it’s well laid out in easily-read and considered chunks, clearly written in a very accessible style, and super-informative” – Mari Howard

“A must read for all writers…Joanna has a very upbeat and friendly written voice, but also tackles the pros and cons of each decision you need to make in a detailed way, without waffling.” – Steph H. Barker

“Every step of the way the book feels like it is offering realistic, down-to-earth goals without ever promising easy-peasy secrets to fame and fortune or too much, You Can do It!-style hype … this author really know her stuff and I am sure I will be delving back into the book in the months ahead.” – Wendy Unsworth

“Joanna Penn is my go-to authorpreneur for advice on making a living from writing … In this book, she shares how she does it, and does it in a non-dogmatic, open way that presents you with more than one perspective on how to do what she does. ” – RichTW
