Official synopsis Publisher
An apparently successful freelancer shares his experiences and tips for those who are motivated to write for love and money. Disavowing stereotypes of the individual “driven to drain her very soul and strain the juice for truth,” Perry dwells on the business end of writing for publication: writing daily, cultivating connections, researching topics and the market, and the fiscal aspects (e.g. getting paid, accounting, taxes, legal issues regarding secondary sales). He also asks the vital question all freelancers ask: “Is this really a job?” Would benefit from an index and more complete resource list. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
