Want to earn a living as a writer? Don’t worry, you don’t need professional training.
I’m proof of that. The newsletter I co-founded, Every, has nearly 70,000 subscribers, and we publish essays that help people understand technology, productivity, and AI. It drives a healthy business — even though my cofounder, Dan, and I were never professional writers. (My career has been in product.)
I won’t lie: I’ve made a lot of mistakes since launching Every. I am a deeply flawed writer. But I do feel confident that I’ve learned some useful things about writing essays that spread on the internet.
