About this listen

Do you want to make a living with your writing?

Do you want to turn your words into multiple streams of income?

I’m Joanna Penn and I left my corporate job a decade ago to become a full-time author entrepreneur. In this completely updated third edition, I’ll explain how I make a living with my writing and share tips from other writers on how you can do it too with practical, actionable advice that you can implement for yourself.

If you love to create and you’re ready to learn fresh skills in a fast-changing environment, this audiobook will give you lots of ideas on how to make money with your words.

Each section provides ideas you can use to research each opportunity in more detail and questions to guide your thought process. Sometimes it’s just about knowing what’s out there in order to find what’s right for you.
