Making Money Writing Short Stories Novels & Stories

Cora shrugged. "Me? There's no way I won't need money," I joked and we laughed. I did have a job, I am a writer, and I do all the kinds of writing there is; Ghost writing, content writing, script-writing, and I write personal books, two of which were adapted into live action. Not to brag, but I am a hot cake writer, kinda famous for my works, and works that people didn't even know I wrote; either way, it was bringing me money and hence the reason why Cora would think I didn't need money. Everyone needs money, Femi Otedola does, Jeff Bezos does, Dangote does, hell even Elon Musk still needed money, so who was I not to need money because I was earning a few thousands? Not me!

“What I like to write doesn’t sell at all, though. I need to write the way they want if I want to pay my bills on time.” “You can rely on me,” she presented. “I absolutely cannot.” She groaned in frustration. In truth, we have had this conversation plenty of times before. Although Larissa wasn’t exactly well-off, she had a better job than mine. She worked as a receptionist at a hotel nearby, and her parents sometimes sent her an allowance when her funds were short. Meanwhile, I had to drop out of college during my first year due to financial constraints. I worked a day shift in a convenience store, took up some photography gigs on the sidelines, and wrote my chapters in the evening.

I had been writing since I was a teenager, and it was only due to royalties income that I was able to afford my apartment in a new country. To hell with it, she probably already knew I screwed that up too. “No,” I told her. “I quit and broke off the contract with the publishing company. I couldn’t do it anymore.”

Subject: URGENT – PRIVATE PROJECT The email was short and straight to the point. We have reviewed your work. A client would like you to ghostwrite his story. Payment: $50,000 upon completion. Amara blinked. Once. Then again. Her eyes remained fixed on the screen as if the words might suddenly rearrange themselves into something more reasonable. But they didn’t. Fifty thousand dollars? Her heart began to pound, slow at first, then faster, louder—until she could feel it in her chest, in her throat, even in her fingertips resting on the edge of her laptop.

I’ve set all of them aside to finish this biggest personal novel. Suddenly, I noticed a picture of Miss Yuki. She’s the young writer that I’m looking up to. I was only able to buy one of her novels but that was enough to inspire me into penning the talent that Gramps and I have. The tales I write basically comes from Grandpa’s supernatural ideas. I composed that story within two years, so my excitement was immeasurable. I was sure it'd be a hit. It’s due in three more days and I had to give it a compelling ending before I submit it to the publishing company that held the competition. If my manuscript wins… it’ll kickstart my writing career plus, I can use the prize money to buy the land wher

“The collection, Dark Corners. I read the first four stories before bed last night, and I have to say I really enjoyed them.” “I appreciate that. I really do love working in the short form, but I had such a hard time convincing my publisher to release a collection. They insisted the public doesn’t care about short stories, and honestly Dark Corners didn’t sell anywhere near as well as the novels.” “But I bet it still made the bestsellers list.” “It did,” Brad said, shifting in his seat as if sitting on a rock. He was always uncomfortable talking about his work, and specifically the money he made from it; it felt too much like bragging.

But thinking about that, I don’t even know what company or director would be interested in a novel by an unknown writer. I’m not famous, but my books are famous. My books have been earning thousands which helps me to provide for my daily needs. I’m writing for an online platform where there are millions of readers or users and I’m lucky to be one of the most successful writers it’s hard to get a contract so I’m trying my best to make my novels interesting and exciting but I writer’s block always hinders me from everything so I always finish my book before passing the outline to my editor. “I’ll give you details about the director that I’m close with later,” she informed me, which made me smi

She had submitted it to a publishing Company, before she boarded the airplane, hoping that it would get accepted. She hoped that they'd love it as much as she did, and that she'd soon receive a call to sign a contract. Fingers crossed, She immersed myself in her writing, weaving words together as the story unfolded. She literally just wrote for fun, but since she found out that she could do what she loved and still earn money, it only motivated her to move further. Writing was just a side hustle. She still planned on getting a good job in one of the companies in New York.
