The Renegade Writer : A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success

The Renegade Writer : A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty

(Paperback)-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 crowded market.

User Reviews for The Renegade Writer : A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty ( 13 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: Jul 14 2009

    This book provided insightful tips on how to approach a freelance career. It offers practical tips based on the actual experiences of the authors, who are established freelancers. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about launching a career in freelance writing. I hope to get my career going soon.

  2. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty Posted: Jul 6 2009

    I liked this book...from the title throughout! Finally a book on Freelancing that is honest about there really not being a FORMULA in getting published. It was insightful and refreshing. I look forward to another of their books (I hope there will be another!)

  3. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Empty ( 2 of 2 found this review helpful ) Posted: Aug 4 2008

    These ladies cut through the bull to tell new freelancers what works and what doesn't work. In some situations it is all based on the comfort level of the beginning freelance writer on which "rules" to break but the authors offer their own experiences. The tone of the book is conversational like you're having lunch or a cup of coffee with them. For beginning freelancers who have very few mentors this is an excellent book to give them a peek into successful freelancing.
