Welcome to The Irresistible Writer.

I'll show you how to craft compelling words, make people fall in love with your writing and gain a bucketload of money.

So glad you found your way here.

If you’re anything like I was, you’ve got a thousand ideas in your head...
but zero clue how to turn them into writing people actually want to read.

I get it.

When I started 2 years ago, I had zero writing experience, a full-time job, and a growing suspicion I was wasting my time.

But I kept writing.
Kept learning.
Kept pressing publish even when no one seemed to care.

Fast forward:

I’ve built a 28,000-strong audience and a $5K/month writing business—working part-time.

And no, I didn’t go viral by accident. I figured out a system.

Now I teach it here—so you don’t have to waste the months (or years) I did.

Incredible things happen when you put your words online.

But only if you write in a way that connects.

This publication is where I’ll show you how to:

• How to write words people can’t resist
• How to grow fans who care and stick around
• How to make money from your writing—even if you're not “a writer”

Every week, I share the strategies that actually moved the needle for me.

To get started, here are two free courses I made for you:

Notes Playbook (14 templates I’ve used to go viral on Substack Notes (and grow fast without selling your soul)
Long-form Mastery (How to write posts that resonate deeply and get shared like crazy).

You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need a place to start.
This is it.

Welcome,
Derek
