Description

I got a book from my library recently with some pretty helpful information about starting a Freelance Writing business. It is a little out of date though and I’m thinking I may need to invest in something more current from Amazon. The Indispensable Field Guide to Freelance Writing looks good as does The Writers Digest Guide to Query Letters.

The Freelance Writing Tips blog has suggestions for several good books that can help you establish yourself as a freelance writer. I think The Renegade Writer looks like a decent choice!

Maybe I’ll just get an ebook – if anyone has suggestions for a good/reasonably priced one that would be awesome! I love simply dowloading a book and not wasting paper, but I hate the thought of spending good money on something poorly written or organized. Obviously, being a blogger myself, I’m a fan of self-publishing but sadly I’ve experienced far too many products that don’t live up to their hype.

I’ve been working away, learning more about query letters, discussing topics with my business partner, brainstorming and writing a couple of article samples. It’s going to be time to kick things into higher gear soon though so I have something to show for my work!
