How To Make a Living with your Writing Paperback

Joanna Penn has done the work and now she shares how we can be successful too! Thanks for a great book. It’s my go to resource for ideas to expand my author business. I’m still working at it and Joanna’s book stays on my desk to remind me of the possibilities!

As with all Joanna Penn's books, this is incredibly useful, packed with information and practical help. The author manages to be both inspiring and upbeat whilst also giving in-depth detail about the practical aspects of making a living from writing. If you are already an author who wishes to enhance their income or are considering making writing your career, then this book is an absolute must.

The information just kept coming with each new page. A very interesting and well written book. I think Joanna just might make it as an author!

This book has all the things that truly successful authors aren’t telling you in their writing manuals. Writing a book that’s up to par could take several months to a few years to do. But this is information all authors need to know, especially those who aren’t published yet. If you’re not willing to work for more than a decade with no pay and invest thousands of dollars you might not get back, then it’ll be impossible to make anything from a book you toiled over.

This book is great and gave me a lot to think about. Highly recommended if for nothing more than providing idea after idea after idea.

Penn offers a lot of advice and resources, with links to many helpful sites and references. I've made a lot of notes and have several ideas to try out now.

I really enjoyed this book! It was an easy, well organized treasure chest of resources for authors! I was going to pass it on to friends that are also writers, but I have highlights on nearly every page to go back and reference and therefore, I will buy them their own copy. I really appreciated all the information on the different author organizations, the rights licensing information, international publishing considerations, and all the publishing format options. I will be purchasing more from this author! I suggest reading this book with a highlighter in hand!

This might be helpful for those who haven’t read much about marketing for authors. I found only a bit that really stood out for me that I wasn’t familiar with, but the rest was familiar. So it is good to know I’m on the right track.

This book is a good start for writers.

This book is a great little resource for those looking to find out how to monetize their writing. It is useful for both fiction and non-fiction authors. Great place to get an overview of the options and begin to put together your writer's business plan.

I bought this book to expand my knowledge on monetizing my writing and it was an incredibly helpful resource. Easy to read, full of excellent, down-to-earth advice with tons of links and further reading. I read it cover to cover and feel incredibly motivated to take my writing business to the next level. Joanna Penn is extremely transparent about her process and very generous in her advice. Loved this book. Have bought many others from Joanna Penn.

I am much more of a print book person than an ebook or audible person but JP explains things well

This new edition is jam-packed with more great tips and ideas for ensuring that writers have multiple streams of income - vital in the current marketplace. Joanna Penn's style is clear, informative and easy to digest and she is always ahead of the game. Highly recommended.
