Today with Amanda Filippelli; book coach, editor, writer and recipient of the Pittsburgh Magazine’s 40Under40 award.



We cover:

• Her work in changing the myth that artists are doomed to be broke; demystifying the industry and breaking down those limiting beliefs that we, creatives, walk around with.

• Changing the perception we have of our stories so we can reframe them for introspection, healing and moving forward.

• Why art will challenge our sensitivities and why it’s an opportunity for growth.

• What’s a bestseller and how to become one?

• Weighing whose advice is worthy of listening to when it comes to our creative work.

• All advices aren’t constructive critiques: Mansplaining and how to deal with unqualified & unsolicited advice.

• Ideas on how to start making money as an author.
