How I Make Money Writing is a weekly Substack newsletter that features honest, in-depth interviews with writers about how they actually earn a living. Every week, we publish a new conversation with someone who writes for money—authors, journalists, copywriters, bloggers, newsletter writers, screenwriters, ghostwriters. Some are full-time. Some are part-time. Some freelance, some publish books, some run newsletters. All of them get paid to write, and all of them are willing to talk about how.
