Fourth Ledger empowers aspiring writers, creatives, and future entrepreneurs to see their stories not just as personal reflections—but as valuable assets that can lead to financial growth and ownership.

Through a unique blend of publishing education, financial literacy training, and creative coaching, participants develop the skills to publish their own work—while also learning to budget, plan, and monetize their creativity in a sustainable way.

Whether you’re dreaming of launching your first journal, building a zine series, or writing a guidebook to share your knowledge, Fourth Ledger helps you see publishing as a personal and economic tool.

Fourth Ledger was built to address the unique barriers Black and Brown creators face in the wealth-building and publishing spaces. We focus on culturally relevant storytelling, digital equity, and publishing-as-empowerment to help participants build long-term creative and financial resilience.

Create.

In small, creative cohorts, participants will draft and design a publishing-ready product: a journal, workbook, planner, zine, or eBook. Along the way, you’ll gain real-world insight into branding, audience building, and product-market fit.

Learn.

Using your own creative work as a case study, we’ll teach financial concepts like budgeting, pricing, cost-of-goods, passive income models, and entrepreneurship. No dry lectures—this is hands-on, creator-centered learning that makes finance relevant and personal.

Monetize.

We’ll show you how to sell your finished product, track revenue, and plan for next steps—whether it’s a second edition, a Shopify store, or submitting to one of Fourth Pov’s zine showcases. Participants also gain access to mentorship and micro-publishing resources to keep growing.
