Bestselling Author. Publisher. Creative Entrepreneur. The Woman Behind the Rich Writer Movement.
Cara Alwill is a bestselling author, publisher, and creative visionary who has spent nearly two decades proving that a woman's words can change her life—and build her wealth.
A pioneer in the modern self-publishing movement, Cara is the author of 10 books translated into 10 languages, with hundreds of thousands of copies sold worldwide. She's built a multi-six-figure creative empire by turning her ideas, stories, and perspective into intellectual property, proving that writers don't have to wait for permission, play by traditional publishing rules, or subscribe to the starving artist narrative to become wildly successful.
After receiving 19 rejections from traditional publishers early in her career, Cara took matters into her own hands and self-published her breakout bestseller, Girl Code. The book went on to dominate Amazon bestseller lists, outselling major titles like #GIRLBOSS and Lean In, and ultimately landed her a multiple six-figure, two-book deal with Penguin Random House.
But Cara's story didn't end with being chosen by a major publisher. She chose herself again.
Returning to independent publishing, she built a thriving business around her books, ideas, and creative freedom, generating more than $700,000 in self-publishing revenue and reaching women around the world. Her work has taken on a life of its own, including underground translations shared by women in places like Iran.
Today, Cara is the founder of Pink Ink Press, a modern publishing house and creative studio bringing bold, disruptive voices to life. Through Pink Ink, she partners with authors to create powerful, culture-shifting books that challenge conventions and expand what's possible in independent publishing.
She is also the creator of Rich Writer Society, a private creative community for women who want to own their voices, tell their stories, publish their work, and turn their words into wealth.
Her acclaimed podcast, Style Your Mind, has surpassed 11 million downloads, earned recognition from Forbes as a leading women-hosted podcast, and been featured on Oprah.com. Through her writing, podcast, and digital publication The Champagne Diet, Cara continues to explore the intersection of creativity, ambition, money, identity, and the art of living beautifully.
At the heart of everything she creates is a simple but radical belief:
Your voice is valuable. Your ideas are assets. And you get to be the author of your own life.
Cara's mission is to help women stop waiting to be chosen, start taking their creative power seriously, and build lives of freedom, fulfillment, and financial possibility through their words.
Because the starving artist era is over.
Welcome to the Rich Writer era.
