Write for Money and Power: The Anti-Starving Artist’s Guide to Becoming a Seven-Figure Writer
AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR, TOP 30 BESTSELLING SUBSTACK NEWSLETTER CREATOR, AND 7-FIGURE WRITER AMY SUTO SPILLS HER SECRETS
Still buying the starving artist myth? Burn it — and get paid.
The gatekeepers told you poverty was noble so that you’d shut up and stay cheap. Ready to write your way out of the lie designed to keep you small, obedient, and broke?
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a writing career that pays in “exposure” or pocket change, this is your permission slip to demand more. Much more.
“I've read all the writing books, and I honestly didn't expect to be so moved and informed by this - the author is a bolt of lightning that will help propel any writer to greater heights. Thoroughly enjoyed!” — USA Today bestseller Rachael Herron
Amy Suto went from broke in the Hollywood trenches to becoming booked out as a seven-figure writer, bestselling author, and creator of a top 30 Substack newsletter. In Write for Money and Power, she shows you exactly how she did it — and how you can too, even if you’ve never made a dollar from your writing before.
Whether you’re a freelancer, a ghostwriter, a novelist, or any kind of writer with bills to pay and a vision to realize, this isn’t another “believe in yourself” pep talk. It’s a real, grown-up plan to make money and grow your personal power with your writing.
If you’d rather make history than excuses — keep reading.
In Write for Money and Power, You’ll Learn How To…
Crush the lie that artists should be broke with history’s real examples (Michelangelo invoiced like a boss, Shakespeare co-owned the damn theater.)
Follow Amy’s 12-month roadmap to build your writing empire. This is the exact plan she’d use to go from $0 to building a seven-figure writing empire from scratch.
Rewire your brain for seven figures. Learn the pricing scripts, positioning plays, and simple mental models that allow you to generate money and power from your words and your laptop.
Build a ghostwriting business that screams luxury. Trade cheap words for six- and seven-figure projects — and what film schools and gatekeepers are scared for you to find out.
Grow a paid newsletter empire. Own your audience, write on your terms, and unlock the freedom of predictable, reader-funded income.
Self-publish like a tycoon. Who needs permission to publish? It’s time to own your work. Consider: Taylor Swift bought back her masters. Brandon Sanderson pocketed $41 million on his self-published book launch on Kickstarter. Now? It’s your turn.
Scale without burning out. Learn the systems, daily rituals, and non-negotiable boundaries that turn chaos into cash flow.
Write from anywhere — on the couch, a coast, or a café in Rome.
“Like a kid watching an R-rated movie for the first time, I was wide-eyed and mouth agape while reading "Write for Money and Power," hanging on Amy's every word. It’s not just a practical guide. It’s the pep talk I didn’t know I needed. I can’t un-dream Amy’s fullproof plan, or stop the avalanche of creative energy hitting me now. Writers looking to get paid what they deserve—read this book now!”
—Lauren Burke Meyer, an award-winning writer and founder of the Lauren's Law blog
Why is this book different?
Because this isn’t “wait your turn” advice — it’s how to skip the line.
Amy shares the exact systems she used to turn her writing into a seven-figure, work-from-anywhere biz.
Still skeptical?
“But I’m a total beginner.” Great. This book exists to make sure you don’t stay one. All you need is the willingness to bet on yourself.
“But no one will pay that much for writing.” Amy’s clients do — and so do so many other clients and readers. This book is here to build your confidence and smash your limiting beliefs so you can step into your power and charge more than you ever thought was possible.
“How do I know this is what I need?” It’s 99 cents. If a dollar feels like too much of a risk to change your writing life, you need this book more than you think.
Add. To. Cart.
If you want your words to fund your life and your dreams — not starve them — Write for Money and Power is your next essential read.
