New Book: ‘Get Paid to Write’

I am pleased to announce the launch of my new eBook, called Get Paid to Write!

While I haven’t ditched traditional publishing – and have some announcements coming very soon – I have written an eBook aimed at helping budding writers forge prosperous careers.

As the name suggests, this is a book about how to make money writing. In this article, I’m giving you everything you need to know.

You can read the book here. Alternatively, you can read it for free on Kindle Unlimited (if you take a free 30-day trial).

Update: It quickly became a #1 Bestseller on Amazon!

Thank you to everyone who downloaded the book on the opening day – it went straight to the top of the bestseller chart in Business Careers, and two other categories!

What is ‘Get Paid to Write’?

Over the past 15 years, I have made a pretty good living as a writer. I write regularly for top magazines, industry-leading businesses, and online publications, as well as my own books.

Because of this, I often get asked about how to get paid to write.

Writing is wonderful and earning cash from it is even better. But today it can feel difficult to get started, with millions of mediocre writers, mindless AI bots, and grumpy editors all out to squish your dreams of earning money by writing.

So, I wrote this book.

Get Paid to Write

I wanted to share my wisdom from my career in a short guide. One that cuts through the bullshit and just gives you everything you need to know to get started.

While it covers a lot, it’s a short book – I didn’t want to spend more than a few weeks writing it, and I didn’t want you to have to pay more than a few dollars/pounds for it.

In the book, I outline:

  • How to get your first paying gig and five-star review
  • How to build a portfolio from nothing
  • How to make thousands from your own blog
  • Websites that pay you to write
  • How to generate ideas for publications
  • Why AI isn’t the enemy
  • …and more

What People Are Saying?

Being the shrewd self-promoter that I am, I have already sought advanced praise from people within the writing industry.

Here’s what they had to say:

“An excellent resource on writing. Chris slices through the nonsense and gives aspiring writers all the advice they need to make money. Essential reading for any budding writer!”

Mark Rees, journalist and author

“In ‘Get Paid to Write’, Chris distils the discombobulating process of getting started as a pro writer into this easy-to-read guide, pinned together with his trademark humour and wit. A very fun and – importantly – helpful read.”

Joseph ‘Rich’ Francis, travel writer

“A guide based on real-world experiences from someone who has been there and done it, and wants to pass on his deep knowledge with practical steps and advice.”

Gareth Davis, copy editor

You can read more on the official Amazon page.

Where Can You Buy ‘Get Paid to Write’?

Great question. Well done for asking.

Fortunately, I’ve made it super simple to get hold of a book. All you need to do is head to Amazon and grab your copy.

Or take a free 30-day trial of Kindle Unlimited and enjoy reading it for free.

The price fluctuates but it will be priced at around £4/$6. I am keeping the cost low to allow everyone to afford it and benefit from its glorious contents.

After three months, it will be available on other platforms as well as Amazon.

Final Words

If you want to earn money by writing, you will find all you need in this new book.
