Freelance:
If your thinking about writing for money than you have to read this book from front to back. Lots of good information.
"Freelance Writer is Great!":
Moira Anderson Allen's book is very easy to read and the instructions are great. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in writing, and I will be purchasing her other books. She has a very easy style with lots of information. Her insight into this field is valuable. She's a writer and has also been an editor so she's been on both sides of the coin. Great book!
Two-Thirds Full of Great Information:
The first third of the book is a review of how to write, how to do research, and what you should have in your office ("a chair," "a desk," "a place to store your writing supplies"), with which I am sure the average person looking to start a freelance writing career already knows. In fact, if you don't know how to write and conduct writing-related research, or have a place to put writing supplies, a career in writing probably never crossed your mind. For this, the book received four stars instead of five.more info
