Does This Sound Familiar?

❌ You wish you had bylines you could brag about, but you've pitched tons of media outlets in the past and never seem to hear back from anyone.

❌ You see people around you, who you know are less talented than you, getting published and it drives you nuts.

❌ You know you had good ideas (and see similar ones published in major outlets!), but landing those pieces feels impossible.

Imagine If...

✔️ You were hearing "yes" to your pitches regularly.

✔️ You could send your Mom the New York Times article you just wrote so she could brag about it to all her friends.

✔️ You knew exactly how to frame your idea in a pitch so that it would be accepted and you would be paid and published.

Introducing my program, Bragworthy Bylines! This is what is going to get you from where you are today to where you most want to be!

Bragworthy Bylines:

Get Paid & Published in 6 Weeks

Do you see other people getting published and wonder what the secret is to attaining that kind of success yourself?

That used to be me.

Maybe you can relate to some of what I used to do:

I used to send multiple pitches a week and not hear any responses.
I used to see people I knew publishing in places like the Atlantic or the Washington Post and wonder how they did it.
I used my ideas on my personal blog where no one read them because I thought "real publishing" was impossible for me.

Things have changed since then.

Now, my work and the stories I care about deeply have been featured across the publication spectrum.

Start overcoming the barriers to telling your story TODAY! We're kicking down excuses and finding all the shortcuts ⚡⚡⚡

Getting your writing published at top publications or making a living as a writer is difficult if you don't know what you're doing.

Perhaps you've thought: "I want to see my name in print but it's too much effort."

That's exactly why I decided to figure this publishing thing out for myself. Now I've seen byline after byline in publications read by hundreds of thousands (even millions!)

Imagine what it is like to open your email and see an acceptance email from the

New York Times or TIME Magazine? It's possible!

Imagine publishing a story close to your heart, so that thousands of people read it! The people who really need it actually see it!

🚨🚨🚨 A HUGE addition to Bragworthy Bylines, available for the FIRST TIME within the program.

Deep dive how to write persuasively, so you can easily sell opinion pieces. Opinion is one of the BEST places to write about personal stories and issues you care most about -- so this is 🔑.

At a $497 value (which you're getting totally FREE!), this extra course makes joining us for this round a no-brainer! 🧠🧠🧠

Write about issues you care about or your personal story & get placements like I did when I wrote getting sober & what women need to know about drinking:

BUT WHAT IF...

🤔 You think your writing isn't good enough?

After years of writing professionally, here is what I know to be true...

You don’t need to be the world's best writer to sell your writing.

I became a reporter when I was just 24 years old with zero experience --

and this launched my writing career. I sold a piece to the Wall Street Journal

with zero fancy bylines to my name prior to that.

This idea that you need to have an MFA in creative writing in order to make money

and sell your work is a myth.

>>> A good idea and persistence goes a lot further.

🤔 You don't know how to find editors? Or have the time to do so?

You don’t need to spend 8 hours a day searching for the right people --

they have made themselves available if you know where to look.

Sure, there are some obscure editors—and you may want to track them down eventually- but most of them are easy to find and want to be found!

You can find the right editor at your dream publication -- and get a real response with a simple search strategy.

Learning this was hard for me, but now it's the easiest thing I do.

🤔 You feel like your ideas aren't original enough?

Let’s flip the script here.

What if I told you it’s actually a good thing that we're starting here? Because now...we can get to the good stuff.

Seriously. Because this means you haven't even begun to plumb the depths

of your mind for all the great ideas and angles that will be uncovered!

The special sauce is in how you differentiate yourself from the other writers actually comes down to YOU—your personality, life experiences, and those oh-so-special quirks and ideas you were always told to hide.

We've just got to pull those things out of you so you can discover what a wealth of

unique ideas you've been gathering for YEARS.

FAQs

When do I get access to the course materials?

Bragworthy Bylines begins as soon as you sign up!

Do I have to have published my writing before?

No! I will guide you how to make it happen. This is who this program is for, like my student Ruth, who had previously written only on her own blog and now has a regular column with Psychology Today. Or Alyssa, who recently published her first piece in the Washington Post.

Who is this course for?

This course is for any writer who wants to see their writing published, especially those with a personal story to tell or an issue they want to write about or advocate for. My students have published in places like the Washington Post, CNBC, Christianity Today, Good Housekeeping & more!

Seems like a time commitment. Will I have time?

All lessons are on the platform and available to you forever. All group calls are recorded and sent out on the same day. You can go at your own pace if you wish. I've had students from different time zones who could never make the calls live but always watched replays. Additionally, I often hear from students months down the road who are still using and accessing their course material regularly. The resources are evergreen.

Is this class for me if I just want to write on the side?

Yes, many of my students only want to write on the side, while others want to pursue full-time freelancing. Student Jamie started off in a full-time job, and ultimately moved to freelancing after learning the ropes. Others prefer to use their writing publications as an addition to their work as professionals in healthcare, law, psychology, education & more.

Will the group calls be recorded if I can't make it?

Yes, they will be recorded and sent out same day with a recap email and access to them indefinitely. You can also pre-send questions for me to answer on the calls if you can't make it.

Will I have access to you after the course ends?

I will remain open to student questions and pitch edits for a couple of weeks if necessary, but always happy to connect for quick questions or thoughts!

Hey there, I'm Ericka!

Mom of two, lover of Orange Theory and proud Hoosier living in Indianapolis, Indiana.

And as a writing coach for ambitious writers who want to get their words published (and get paid for it!), I'm here to simplify the process, offer shortcuts and be a launch pad for great ideas and successful pitches.

Because, on a real note, I've been publishing my work and getting paid for it regularly for the past 5 years as a freelance writer!

And I write stories that are VERY close to my heart. Like when I wrote about alcoholism for the New York Times and on IVF for the Wall Street Journal.

I will help you write about the things that matter most and publish them too.

I'm also a 6-figure freelance writer who never thought it was possible (but it is!)

Now, I'm obsessed with sharing my knowledge with others who have this same dream.

Getting to share stories and messages I care about, making a living doing what I love and reaching thousands of people through writing is truly a dream come true. It could be for you too.

I share all of that to show you what’s possible (and why I’m so obsessed) with publishing writing & getting paid!

Do you see other people getting published and wonder what the secret is to attaining that kind of success yourself?

Maybe you wish you could do the same.
