...I'm Cody!

Welcome! I’m thrilled you’re here! 

As a full-time freelancer for over eight years, I know firsthand the journey you’re on and the challenges that come with it.

You’re probably wondering if you can even get paid to write… let alone make enough money to feed your family and fuel your dreams. 

It’s time to let that doubt go. 

Each year, the world spends $674,000,000,000 on marketing. If you captured just 0.000015% of that, you’d be wealthier than you’ve ever thought possible. 

The thing is… earning your piece of the pie is extremely attainable. You just need to know how. 

Writing has helped me escape a career I hated, travel the country with my family, and enjoy a fulfilling life.

My mission with Ravenwood Writing Academy is to help aspiring writers like you gain the knowledge, tools, and confidence to succeed. 

I want you to envision a reality where your passion for writing not just supports you but allows you to thrive

That’s where we’re heading! 

Together, we’ll pave the way for your success. 

Because I believe you have a unique story to share, and the world is waiting to hear it.

So what are you waiting for? 

My Journey

December 12th, 2017

Where it all began…

I was searching for a side hustle that aligned with my passion for writing. A few people told me I was good at it *wink* and I was sold. 

I landed my first paid writing job penning blog posts for a local urgent care company thanks to my experience in the healthcare niche. A few months later, I got a gig writing tech review articles for a popular affiliate website.

Taking it seriously

Just before the pandemic, I realized I was making far more money than I ever anticipated. I thought, “If I started taking this more seriously, could I write for a living full-time?” 

I committed to becoming the best writer I could be. I studied my favorite writers relentlessly, sent thousands of cold emails in search of new clients, and slowly grew my reputation (and income!) within my niche.

Going all-in

I was burnt out of my healthcare job and tired of having a boss dictate my life. I decided to give my notice and take a leap of faith. 

Suddenly, my writing the only thing supporting my family. Talk about pressure!

I doubled down and started working harder than ever to scale-up my career.

Why The Raven?

Inspired by my love for Norse mythology and the raven’s symbolism as a good omen, the name “Ravenwood” holds deep meaning for me.

One day after a particularly stressful shift at my healthcare job, I saw a raven—a sign that felt like permission to take the leap and pursue writing full-time.

Ravenwood Writing Academy is built on that spirit: following the signs, trusting your path, and embracing the courage to create a life on your terms.
