The Meaty, Hairy Guide to Selling Your Creative Writing
Become a highly-paid creative writer & love your work again. For writers who want to get paid like doctors 💵 — sell your creative writing to clients & companies for top dollar, even if you're new and don't have a portfolio the size of Chicago yet. (There are absolutely kazoos. 🥳)
The typical path of a freelance writer goes a liiiiittle bit like this…
Don't charge $15/hour. Learn how to charge $150.
Half the battle is setting aside your own money story and not making financial decisions for other people. Some people think a $3M penthouse is astronomical — but you don't see penthouses lowering their value so everyone can afford one. They find the right people who can.
Your job is to make every client ache so badly to work with you that cost becomes invisible — all they see is value. There are plenty of clients who happily pay $150/hr without batting an eyelash; in many industries it's standard. The question is: how do you find them, what do you charge, and how do you get over your own money anxieties? That's what this guide is for. And don't worry about the size of your portfolio — we start at ground zero and graduate into advanced business strategy.
From desperate dabbler to in-demand creative darling — the fun way to $100,000+
The Meaty, Hairy Guide to Selling Your Creative Writing shows you how to stand out from the sea of ONE BILLION WRITERS (seemingly), position & market yourself as a pro, make the phone ring off the hook (kidding, nobody answers the phone anymore), and command 3× more for your writing than you probably are now — and that's just to start. Serious about earning $100,000+ writing fun, fresh, cool things instead of dreary old white papers? This is for you.
What changes after this guide
What's inside — the 12 masterclasses
Money: pricing, cashflow & 3× your compensation 💵
It's not what your writing costs, it's what it's worth — and how to price yourself accordingly.
Positioning & finding lucrative gigs 📣
Standing out and strategically positioning yourself in the marketplace · how a writer builds a reputation and becomes THE go-to with a waitlist · the three placements (exposure, sales, trust).
Inquiries & client calls 💌📞
Say THIS when you get an inquiry… not that (massively important — get it right and you can triple your earnings) · handle the client call like a totally-not-nervous pro, including the #1 thing to do — and why this process requires that you never answer the money question on the phone.
Proposals that sell 📄⚡️
Write a client proposal that 3×'s your income — burger joint vs. Michelin: same ingredients, much different price points · includes a fully-developed sample proposal IN THE FLESH, showing exactly what to include and how to word it so it earns double, triple, quadruple the rate. (This has produced more results for students than anything.)
Follow-up, contracts & running the project 🖋
Follow up without seeming like a serial killer, and close that deal, baby (all six post-proposal scenarios covered) · professional contracts that make you look like a pro and protect you from chargebacks and non-payment — including a copy of Ash's exact client contract as your starting template · timelines, expectations, and the client process that makes people feel in the best hands.
Delivering, wowing & the endless-income upsell 🪄💰
It's love at first draft: "dress" your deliverables so clients are 700,528% more likely to love them · then re-pitch existing clients into ongoing monthly retainers for consistent, predictable revenue.

The schedule
None — it's a digital download. Everything is yours the moment you buy, in whatever order your next client emergency requires.
How long it takes
Read the twelve booklets over a weekend — then put them to work one client at a time. Students tend to see the proposal and pricing sections pay for the guide on their very next inquiry. (See below. Repeatedly.)
In their words
"Between this proposal and the last, I've made around $9,000 in 2 months with just 2 clients. WOW!!! I've never had numbers like this in my business ever."
"The client chose the most expensive package at $3,000/month — a grand total of $36,000 in guaranteed revenue from just one client. With my original pricing, he would have been a one-and-done at a mere $500."
"I just sold a mother-bleeping $4,500 package!!! First big ticket in one lump sum that launched my business to my first $10K!!! This is exactly what Ash said would happen and it f*cking delivers."
"Used your proposal template and landed a cheeky little £11,000 project, which I'm sure I wouldn't have won without this banging template."
"Having the Client Services Agreement in my hands gave me the confidence to double my rate today. I almost threw up hitting the send button, but she already accepted my offer."
"THIS WAS MORE HELPFUL THAN ALL OF THE $2K COURSES I'VE PURCHASED. And I've purchased a lot of those. Thank you from the bottom of my dirty little heart."
"I've already signed up three monthly retainers — about a guaranteed $1,500 per month, which is HUGE for me, considering previously 100% of my work was month-to-month and incredibly unpredictable."
