"The excitement of freelance writing just bristles from the page." --thecompulsive reader.com
Product Description
Written by two freelancers who broke the rules to win the game, this handbook contains a wealth of information for writers who are frustrated by the seemingly limited ways to operate in the freelance market. It explains that freelancers can negotiate for more money and better terms without risking their careers, shows that editors are not the writer-gobbling monsters many freelancers fear, and explains how to establish and foster work relationships. In this updated second edition there are more ideas, more rules to break, and more resources to get started, including a suite of appendixes covering topics such as contract procedures, getting paid, services for freelancers, generating ideas, and doing research. As inspiration, the book includes examples of real writers who have gone against 'expert' advice and flourished. Being shy doesn't pay, and following the rules puts a writer in a long line of other sheep; with this text as a guide, writers can step out of the herd and build a successful business in a crow.

How to celebrate the writing life,
This review is from: Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success (Paperback)
Unlike many books which treat writers as lowly and desperate, Linda and Diana celebrate the writing life. They don't gloss over realities (like needing to pay your bills) but their advice is upbeat and positive with excellent tips and advice as well as inspiring case studies. The first edition helped me jumpstart my freelance writing career and the new edition is superb, too. It's the best advice for freelance writers I've come across and I recommend it to all my writer clients.

Atlast! Web-friendly advice for writers! Excellent book!,
This review is from: The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success (Paperback)
Welcome to the future! A book for writers that actually acknowledges the web exists! And then some.Excellent web refs for sources for articles, writer's guidelines and downright USEFUL sites. Written by two hot young writers, this book is a breath of fresh air after all those stuffy, out-dated how-to-be-a-freelance-writer books that offer cautious, tip toeing around the editor 'advice'. This book is a bold, brazen, fun guide to how to GET ON WITH IT and succeed, not just plod along in hobbyist waters. Like putting on a cool fan on a hot day or diving into icy water, this book really motivates you. I am not one to gush about books - I am too busy reading them, and even busier building my own freelance career. But this book has given me more practical advice, inspiration and get-up-and-go than about twenty other 'helpful guides' to making a living from writing. Thanks a lot, Linda and Diana - two sassy writers with initiative, balls and spirit! May you long continue to flourish!

Renegade Writer,
By China girl (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success (Paperback)
Unconventional in that it takes the usual pieces of advice and turns them upside down, ie Break this Rule.
Chatty and friendly approach, good for those starting out as freelancers.
