5.0 out of 5 stars Very highly recommended 23 April 2001
By C. Penn - Published on Amazon.com
Ray Dreyfack targets writers who don't have many notches on their literary belt in ACHIEVING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AS A FREELANCE WRITER, although seasoned authors will also benefit greatly from this fact filled book. With the flair and savvy of a freelancer of over thirty years, Dreyflack provides clear information that will have any writer who dreams of chucking their day job well on their way to fulfilling the dream.

ACHIEVING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AS A FREELANCE WRITER presents solid, time tested information in ten chapters, including getting started, how to move into freelancing as a career without starving, and how to support yourself during the transition and afterward. He also addresses corporate writing, benefits of networking, and choosing specialties.

As an English major who has always made a living from my writing, I have devoured a number of books in this genre, from books put out by Writers Digest to the type I mailed ten bucks for. This is quite honestly the best resource I have seen on the topic of freelance writing, providing tips I've never found elsewhere in addition to reminding me of things I knew but had forgotten. Most books of this type are filled with white space and fluff, but ACHIEVING FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE AS A FREELANCE WRITER doesn't waste the reader's time; instead, it provides practical, timely information. I very highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ray Dreyfack shares his adventures as an author 27 Aug 2000
By C. M. Winger - Published on Amazon.com
This book is for new freelance writers, or writers who want to leave their boring day job and work into a freelance writing profession. Grab your cup of coffee and sit down in a relaxing chair. Indulge yourself as you hear the ins and outs of the writing business from a pro who spent thirty years behind the typewriter, and now a keyboard. Ray will spin his story that invites you into his world of freelance writing. Some chapters are slow, some material is repeated, but the love of writing freelance shines out clearly. If you freelance, or want to get into the profession this is the `best buy' of new books that shares a successful writer's enthusiasm and joy in the writing trade.
