Customer Reviews
I can see how underrated this book is...
I've read countless books on freelance writing, and none has lit so strong a fire under my a** to try breaking into the industry as this one. It's about making a living, it's about being prepared for every possible glitch, it's about knowing what to expect as a newbie freelance writer every step of the way. And it's told in a voice that isn't condescending or self-indulgent, in terms that aren't confusing or oversimplified. Kim Kavin knows her stuff, and aspiring freelance writers everywhere are better for her having shared it. Highly recommended.
