I earn $263,000 in annual revenue from my Substack side hustle. It's an incredible bonus to my writing career.

I started my career in Hollywood as a TV writer. By 2020, I was ghostwriting memoirs and traveling the world with my partner, now husband, Kyle Cords, to work with clients.

Kyle was also a freelancer.

In June 2023, I started a Substack documenting the realities of being a working writer. People kept asking me, "How do you get these jobs?" In the same year, I published the book "Six-Figure Freelance Writer" to answer that question.

As my business grew, I became too busy to take on every client and started running out of people to refer them to.
