Inspiring,

This review is from: The Freelance Writer's Handbook: How to Make Money and Enjoy Your Life (Paperback)
This is without a doubt the best book I have ever read on the subject of getting assignments as a freelance writer.There's no padding or 'fluff' in here -- Mr Crofts' gets straight down to the nitty gritty of how to get work. This isn't a book for people who want to learn how to write. It's a book for writers who want to make a decent living from their craft. Highly recommended.

This review is from: The Freelance Writer's Handbook: How to Make Money and Enjoy Your Life (Paperback)
Like many people I have read libraries of guide books for would-be writers. This, undoubtedly, is one of the best. I read it cover to cover in a couple of hours and then went back the next day to learn some more.
Clearly expressed, in logically structured sections, this book will certainly guide you through the process of finding the right topics to write about, the right people to pitch them to and, most importantly, how to cope with the rejection while waiting for the really big break-through. The good news is that if you read this book and follow the advice then you won't even notice the rejection slips - you'll be too busy working on the next article that you are going to sell! One to read and keep, making sure you re-read it regularly.

Top-notch Nuts & Bolts Guide,
This review is from: The Freelance Writer's Handbook: How to Make Money and Enjoy Your Life (Paperback)
If you want to get involved in the actual business of freelance writing there is no better guide on the market. Andrew Crofts is well known in the book trade as a ghost writer and it is seldom that he doesn't have a book in the best-seller lists, even if it doesn't have his name on it.
Unlike many books on writing, this book actually tells you how to write for a living and is not full of the normal obsequies to editors that usually plague books like these and reveal a definite bias to the amateur. Not much use if you want to write a heart-felt labour-of-love novel, otherwise excellent.
