✍️ Breaking the Starving Artist Myth: What Shakespeare Knew About Business [Free Class]

An online version of the sold-out in-person lecture I gave here in the Bay Area.

I gave this lecture live as part of an in-person lecture series here in the Bay Area, and it was sold out with over 80+ tickets purchased.

Why? It’s because we’re all curious why “starving artist” has become such a cultural norm — especially because the great artists remembered by history were often not starving!

But the starving artist myth has been perpetuated by gatekeepers and institutions that want to keep us from reaching our potential — and often profit from the disenfranchisement of writers and creatives.

This is the basis of my bestselling book Write for Money and Power, which has sold thousands of copies and helped writers take control of their destinies and focus on the creative work they’re excited to do.
