business skills

I am only halfway through this amazing book, but I had to drop you a note and let you know how much finding this book has meant to me. After the first 17 pages, I learned more about freelancing than in the last three books I've read combined! Thank you, David Taylor, for giving those of us who want to break in to this business the truth, excellent tips, and a path on which to start our own journey toward success.

As a first-time writer, I was finding the process of becoming published totally overwhelming and frustrating. This book gave me quite an education, and singlehandedly turned on my freelance light bulb.

David Taylor covers all bases with his clear, concise, easy to follow, and amusing style. He takes on the ambitious task of addressing every area of successful freelance writing. Referring to this book is literally like having a personal coach offer wisdom on the strategy of your game plan. It's like having a seasoned tour guide navigate you through the maze of the literary jungle.

There's plenty of helpful charts and references to online resources, sample calculations, sample documents, priceless tips. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of this industry; and to anyone who wants to do something concrete with that knowledge.

I bought this book and Renegade Writer at the same time. This book I didn't find to be very good. I wish I would have just checked it out at the library. A couple of chapters are semi-useful, others aren't. I wouldn't really recommend buying this book. I would say to check it out at the library.
