I’M MATTHEW THRUSH
AND I HELP WRITERS SHARE THEIR STORIES. IT’S MY GOAL
TO HELP YOU BECOME A SUCCESSFUL WRITER.
No matter who you are or where you’re from, you have a story that’s worth sharing with the world. Words have a unique kind of power, and if you harness that power by writing a book, you can impact countless people. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping people achieve their writing goals.
My own writing journey started as just a hobby until I decided to work towards my dream of becoming a full-time writer. Once I started dedicating time to my writing career, it took off! I quickly became a #1 bestselling author on Amazon, then I focused my effort on ghostwriting, and made enough money to quit my 9-5 job. So far, I’m a #1 bestselling author of over 50 books on Amazon, and I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon! On top of that, I’ve also co-founded Six-Figure Ghostwriter and I run a book publishing business to help others achieve their writing goals. There were plenty of ups and downs throughout my writing journey, but I gained a lot of valuable experience along the way, made great connections in the writing industry, and realized that I love sharing what I’ve learned with others.
My Story
In The
Beginning
In January 2015, I was nearly $85,000 in debt and unemployed, with just $100 in my checking account. On top of all that, I was unqualified for unemployment assistance because the gap between my full-time job in the Navy and the time I requested help was too long. I applied to countless jobs, but interviewers would tell me that I was “overqualified” for the jobs I was applying for. I just couldn’t seem to get ahead! I was chronically depressed and anxious because of the way my life was going. I knew I had to make a change.

AND THEN
I decided that I was done blaming others for my problems. That’s when I made a commitment to try achieving my dream: becoming a full-time writer!
I was determined to start writing more consistently and treat it as a full-time job, not just a hobby. For me, that meant writing a minimum of 1,500 words
a day for 12 months straight.
I had my fair share of doubts at first, but I told myself to just keep trying.
Breakthrough
Each day, I would post a chapter to a Wattpad, a website where writers share free stories with readers. It didn’t take long before I started seeing one blessing after another! I was able to write much more than my minimum word count, averaging about 5,000 words per day without getting burned out. I gained 54,000 followers on Wattpad, and the feedback kept me motivated to keep improving my writing skills.
My story amassed over 1 million reads, won several writing contests, and became a #1 bestselling book on Amazon! To top it all off, I landed a job as a Technical Writer in March 2015, earning a steady income of $55,000 a year.
But THEN
All of those creative writing accomplishments were great, but at the same time, I still wasn’t making any money with it. Sure, I was making a living as a Technical Writer, but it was a lot of work and my heart just wasn’t in it. I asked myself how I could turn my passion for creative writing into a successful career so I would never have to worry about money again. Like many writers out there, I tried self-publishing and traditional publishing, but those career paths weren’t successful enough for me to quit my job and write stories full-time.
my resolution
One day, a light bulb went off in my head. I decided to start ghostwriting, and I realized how fun and rewarding it was! As a ghostwriter, I was able to make a steady income off creative writing, share stories with readers, and help people all at the same time. Eventually, I was even able to quit my Technical Writing job to pursue more meaningful career goals. That extra time allowed me to become a #1 bestselling author of over 50 books on Amazon!
While ghostwriting, I realized just how much I enjoyed helping people share their stories with the world. That inspired me to delve deeper into the writing industry so I could help even more people out. I co-founded Six-Figure Ghostwriter with the goal of teaching other writers how to achieve financial and career success. From there, I started running a successful book publishing business, so now I enjoy mentoring authors on both the technical and business aspects of producing bestselling books!
My Beliefs
ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT TO ME
- As a Christian, I truly believe it’s my higher purpose
to help people share their stories. - When an author writes a book to share their unique story
with others, I believe it has the power to change the world.
Like Many Writers,
I STRUGGLED TO OVERCOME MY DOUBTS.
