My promise: To work hard for you and never bore you. I earned a terrific living for four decades as a professional writer focused on outstanding stories. My passion is inspiring burgeoning writers, like you, to work for yourself online and make money writing.
**I’ve written for some of the largest publications in the US, including the Chicago Tribune and the Tampa Tribune, Medium.com, a variety of print and digital magazines, and I taught writing at a college level.

Why all this matters
Writing as a business provides a comfortable, lasting source of income, but competition is fierce and experience matters. I've spent decades learning how successful writers, editors, and publishers attained their success. I know what works, and it's important to me that you don't get buried in the avalanche of ineffective tips like "write what you know." Your success is my goal—I will tell you the truth.
Pen2Profit focuses on realistic help and support for writers working toward success. My writing has earned significant compensation from editors, publishers, and clients. I am officially retired—counting on you to be my clients and support this publication.
Subscription fees will pay for publishing expenses like web hosting, jobs and market research, payment for guest posts, promoting this business, and subscribing to webinars and resources I can share with all of you.

Look, I’m creating the kind of writing and coaching you can’t find anywhere else, and I need you to be part of the process and support this work if you value it. I'm committed to creating the best resource for any writer who cares about this intersection of writing and earning a living and then own that niche.
As I said, I would.
