Hi there ,
I'm going to let you in on a fairly depressing fact: it's extremely difficult to make a living as a novelist.
In fact, it's almost impossible for all but a few superstar best sellers.
Does that mean you should give up on your dream of making a living doing what you love?
Not
at all!
There are a number of different ways you can take your writing skills and turn them into revenue that can support you ongoing novel writing endeavours.
Despite having three published books, I've actually made more money from ghost writing and copy writing gigs this
month than I have from book sales!
Of course, not everyone is clear on what a copy writer does, or even what copy writing is!
That's why I interviewed Faith Watson of Pen to Zen for this week's episode of the Ottawa Writes podcast. Faith has over two
decades experience as a copy writer, and shares a bunch of fascinating information during our discussion.
Your pal in writing,
Kevin T. Johns
