About

My name is Nicolas Cole, and I am one of the most-read writers on the Internet. Over the past decade, I have written over 5,000 articles online, and ghostwritten for 300+ Founders, C-level executives, NYT best-selling authors, Grammy-winning musicians, and more. I have also broken records on various digital writing platforms, like becoming the fastest-growing user on Quora in 2014, and becoming the most-read writer on the entire platform (out of 200 million users) in 2015. I have amassed over a billion views on my writing, and the topics I cover include writing online, fiction writing, and self-publishing. I have also written over a dozen books, including the best-selling The Art & Business of Online Writing.

What the agent found

Every item cites where it came from. Open the evidence on any card to see the quote and the source.

Needs

What Nicolas needs from a partner, inferred from both profiles.

Someone who can talk shop about writing and audiences
Inferred: a partner who enjoys talking about writing craft, storytelling and building an audience, since that is what nearly all of his public work covers.
A partner with projects of their own
Inferred: someone with their own work and interests, since his time is already split across several co-founded companies that run at the same time.
Patience with launch weeks
Inferred: a partner who understands that book launches and product releases take over his calendar for a while and do not need to be treated as a crisis.

Hobbies

What Nicolas actually spends time doing.

Making short teaching videos
Nine of his twelve most recent Instagram posts are short teaching videos built as lists of mistakes or steps.
Breaking down films for storytelling
He takes apart famous films and frameworks in public, writing about Christopher Nolan's plot structure and Pixar's storytelling rules.
Music production
He lists music production and 'Music Producer' among his skills. It is the only sign of music in either profile, and nothing on Instagram shows it.

Interests

Topics and worlds Nicolas cares about.

AI-assisted writing
He co-founded communities and a newsletter built around using AI tools as a writing assistant.
Making money from an audience
Much of his teaching covers turning attention and readers into revenue, from social media traffic to digital products.
Self-publishing and book launches
He has written more than a dozen books and posts specifically about how to launch one.
Fiction and storytelling craft
He studied fiction writing at university and still lists it as one of his topics.

Other qualities

Values, personality and style the agent picked up on, grouped by kind.

Ambition

Runs several ventures at once
He has co-founded several businesses and has kept more than one running at the same time, including Write With AI alongside AI Writing Skool.

Communication

Teaches in clear steps
His captions tend to break ideas into labelled lists, such as distraction versus execution mode or three steps to a side hustle.

Values

Wants to pass on what he has learned
He describes his aim as sharing what he has learned about writing online with other writers, creators and industry leaders.

Personality

Frank about how writing careers stall
He names the hard part of building a writing career, including giving up after weak early numbers, rather than only celebrating wins.

Humour

Dry, bold framing
His titles sometimes take a confident, slightly wry angle, such as a bet on a director or calling writing a lottery.

Green flags

Names the creators whose work he breaks down, such as Christopher Nolan
Lists the mistakes before the fixes
Wants other writers to succeed, not only himself
Will talk about how writing careers stall, not just the wins

Possible dealbreakers

Someone who expects him to be off-duty and never talk about his work
Someone who finds launch weeks and sales funnels tiresome
Someone who wants a partner with no projects of their own

Conversation hooks

Ask about the Plot Map Technique in post 2 and whether he thinks a Nolan-style structure can be taught to people who don't write thrillers
Ask about 'Why You Should Stop Building Two Businesses At Once' (post 5) and how he decides which of his own ventures to drop
Ask about the Fiction Writing degree from Columbia College Chicago and what he was writing during it
Ask what he produces when he makes music, since it is listed under skills but none of it shows on Instagram
Ask whether he really believes 'Why Writing Is A Lottery Game' (post 12), given how much of his business is built on systems
