Ever look at your kid’s school books and think, “Who writes all this stuff—and are they getting paid?” Today we’re talking to Megan Conner, an editor, author, writing consultant, and graduate of Writing Off Social: The Course who has built a thriving writing career in places most writers never think to look—educational publishing, work-for-hire projects, devotionals, technical writing, and those “I Can Read”–style books that quietly teach kids everything from phonics to frog ecosystems. She’s contributed to dozens of educational works, earned a steady income from her writing, and done it all without relying on social media. If you’ve ever thought, “I just want to write the words and get paid for the words,” this episode is your sign. For show notes, go to https://writingoffsocial.com/83

If you’ve ever thought, “There’s no way I can land a book deal without a massive platform,” this episode is going to mess with that narrative in the very best way.
Our guest, best-selling novelist Sarah Damoff, sold her debut novel, The Bright Years, to Simon & Schuster with no writing background, no industry connections, an Instagram following of about 300 friends and family, and a tiny email list. So if you’ve been quietly disqualifying yourself because of your numbers, today’s guest is living proof that your craft can carry you farther than your follower count.
