I interviewed Amy Suto about her business, Kingdom Of Ink, that connects freelance writers with the jobs they are looking for.
Kingdom of Ink is a B2B copywriting services company focused on connecting the top 1% of freelancers to the tech companies, nonprofits, and B-Corps who want story-driven content and copy.
We launched in early 2021.
We’re based in Los Angeles, CA, but our writers are located around the U.S. We believe remote work is the future and the structure of our company encourages that!
We don’t represent writers, but we are looking for writers from entertainment backgrounds who are creatives first. In their freelancing careers, our writers use their story sense to elevate brands and bring a creative spark to the copywriting process.
We don’t represent writers, but if you’d like to join our collective you can visit our application link on our careers page: https://www.kingdomofink.com/careers
I came up in Hollywood, and I saw how representation doesn’t actually work for a lot of creatives. Instead, models like ours help writers get jobs while giving them a community of collective support they can rely on.
Creatives should be able to hone their craft through freelancing work while also making their own projects at their own pace. We don’t believe in traditional “9-to-5” jobs and instead want to build opportunities for writers to create their own schedules.
Once writers join our collective, they have access to our exclusive, members-only job board on our platform. From there, they can select or be invited to jobs, and choose what work to take on.
We help writers create a freelancing career for themselves while also having a community to rely on. Our freelance platform is different than other platforms because a percentage of every contract is redistributed as “mutual aid” to everyone in the collective to create a safety net. We also have a strong focus on community and virtual events, and want to support our creatives in different ways.
Similar to platforms like Upwork, we take a commission fee, but there are no upfront costs for writers wanting to join our ranks.
By creating a “personal brand” you can shape how your audience and potential clients view you. That way you can be top-of-mind for jobs and opportunities that are specific to you and what you love writing!
It’s not essential. We build partnerships with B-Corporations, nonprofits, and tech companies who are looking for incredible writers to upgrade their content and tell the story of their company. We focus more on relationship-building rather than social media to find our client base.
Having an Internet presence is important to cultivate your audience. In the new Creator Economy, you have to build and curate your own audience. That will allow you to make the content you love and share it with the people who want to support you.
We are the platform they’re on, so we don’t focus on getting them onto other platforms. We support our writers through getting them jobs, creating community events, and sharing resources and mutual aid funds.
Our biggest successes this year is in helping our writers quit toxic jobs in Hollywood and go full-time freelance. We believe that writers should be able to travel the world, work remotely, and have a flexible schedule, and so we create systems to help them achieve that!
The path towards finding freedom as a freelancer and creative is a hard one, but don’t give up! Keep on investing in your skills, follow your joy, and have faith that as long as you show up and do your best every day, everything will work out. As a freelancer and creative myself, I found success by creating good habits and learning constantly.
