Announcing Writing & Money: a New Podcast Designed to Help You Earn Money From Your Writing

Listen to Episode 0: How to Pitch!

Hello, listeners.

I’m Nicole Dieker. I’ve been a full-time freelance writer since 2012, and I published my first novel, The Biographies of Ordinary People, in 2017.

You might be familiar with my work at The Billfold, The Write Life, Lifehacker, or The Verbs.

I’ve also written for Reviews.com, Popular Science, Wing World Magazine, and more. (So many more.)

I know a lot about earning money as a writer. I earned over $87,000 from my writing in 2016 — that’s gross, so I didn’t get to keep all of it, but we’ll talk about taxes and business expenses on the podcast.

I earned over $87,000 from my freelance writing in 2016—and I want to teach you everything I know.

We’ll also talk about how to pitch, how to build relationships with editors and publications, how to conduct interviews when you’re on a tight deadline, how to track (and grow) your income, how to track (and manage) your time — and for those of you who want to be authors as well as freelancers, how to write and self-publish a novel.

If you would like to subscribe to the Writing & Money podcast, you can sign up through Patreon. Subscriptions are $1 per month, and you’ll get two new episodes every month, as well as access to the back catalog.

You’ll also get access to the Writing & Money community, where you can discuss episodes, ask for feedback on pitches, and get to know other freelancers and authors.

If you’d like to hear an episode before subscribing, here’s Episode 0, How to Pitch.

Thanks, and I hope you’ll join the Writing & Money community. I’m so excited to share everything I’ve learned with you. ❤️
