Money Face Your Writing

I went into *Money Face Your Writing* expecting another dry, motivational slog about ‘putting yourself out there,’ but Hundhausen’s approach is refreshingly mercenary. The audiobook moves fast—good thing, because a lot of writers I know could use this kind of kick in the pants without wasting their time on pretty prose. Virtual Voice’s narration is polished but not robotic, hitting the right balance between urgency and clarity. My one gripe? The section on pitching outlets felt a bit rushed, like it needed a concrete template example to stick the landing. And while the pacing is tight, some listeners might wish for a PDF companion with swipe files or templates, given how action-oriented the advice is. Still, within 40 minutes, I found myself bookmarking three different tools to try—rare for a short-form guide. It’s not for the ‘woo-woo’ crowd; it’s for writers who want to treat their craft like a side hustle with a paycheck. If you’re still waiting for your big break to ‘happen organically,’ this might be the wake-up call you need.
