This is a very short but jam packed book that details each step to becoming a freelance writer clearly. If you are thinking of becoming a freelance writer or just want to know what it may entail, this book is a good starting point. I would have liked a little more information about contracts - do I supply them or the client etc. Overall, this book is detailed, clear and enthusiastic about freelance writing. Highly recommended.

A simple, straight forward book with lots of advice for beginning freelancers. The authors explain things well, and give plenty of action steps to take to begin your business. The way they break it down makes it seem a lot less overwhelming.

It’s no secret why this is so popular
Sweet and succint, yet addresses nearly every topic you can think of in this domain. They’re writing is full of optimism and positivity but they’re not trying to butter you up. Despite all of their expert advice, they’re is an emphasis on putting in the work.

Great Tips for New Writers
Gave this five stars for being descriptive. Did not assume reader knew things and provided tons of details, examples and templates.

Make Money as a Freelance Writer by Gina Horkey & Sally Miller
A review by Kat Fankhauser-Taylor. http:katfank2.wordpress.com.
The authors of Make Money as a Freelance Writer, shared their feelings about the fears that they felt when first starting out as freelance writers. This can be seen by the following except from chapter two:
You’ll almost certainly encounter all of these fears as a freelancer. Know that you’re not alone. I constantly struggle with negative thoughts, but I don’t let it stop me. You shouldn’t either. You can become a freelance writer. I’ve already shared the importance of writing despite your fears. The strategies in this chapter will help you do this. You may not need to use all of them. Sally Miller
The fear busting method that Sally Miller shares comes from her personal experience when she first started her freelance business. Gina Horkey also shares her experience. The writing is clear and understandable, and allows the reader to feel like an equal, rather than feeling talked down to. They are also relevant to the business of freelancing, and are simple to understand.
The authors take turns writing each chapter. Having two voices, instead of just one, reinforces the information taught. Miller showed evidence of her expertise, by referring to one of her earlier books. She used it in conjunction with one of her freelancing jobs.
The format of Make Money as a Freelance Writer, is easy to follow. The use of bullet points sets out certain ideas, and reinforces the importance of that particular advice. Every chapter flows well and interacts with one another. The use of ‘action steps’ ensures that the reader can retain the information by completing the tasks set. Again this encourages reader participation. Having links to web pages made it easy for the target audience to find sites that will benefit their freelance business.
In chapter three the use of questions for self evaluation allows the reader to seriously think about what type of freelancing work he/she will undertake. The questions are helpful and to the point. Including other freelancer writers experiences personalizes and reinforces the expertise and truths that are being taught in Make Money as a Freelance Writer.
Overall, Make Money as a Freelance Writer is a good source for any person interested in becoming a freelance writer.

Informative and Actionable!
If you are considering freelance writing as a way to make extra money part-time or as a career transition so you can work from home (or anywhere), this book is a great place to start. Whether you're still deciding or ready to get started, you'll find ALL the info you need within these pages.
The book covers everything from deciding what to write about (or what "niche" you'll write in), how to land clients, how to create your online resume, your website, all the way through to legalizing your business, taxes, and accounting. Truly an all-in-one resource for the aspiring freelancer!
Sally and Gina have "been there and done that" and, lucky for us, are willing to share the ins and outs to save us from stumbling down all the 'how to make money freelancing' rabbit holes on the internet these days. And there are plenty! Myself a graduate of Gina's original 30 Days or Less to Freelancing Success course, which she has recently revamped and added to (I'm so excited!), I cannot speak highly enough of the guidance and no-nonsense truth she has given me. Which included every tool, resource, piece of knowledge, AND amazing support I needed to hit the ground running. And I am well on my way! The fact Sally is a fellow alumni was no surprise.
If you want the truth, how simple it really can be to start a freelancing career if you're dedicated to doing so (it really is!), then look no further. You've found your map! I highly recommend Sally, Gina, this book, and everything else they have to offer. These ladies, starting with 'Make Money As A Freelance Writer', will point you down the correct path every time, then check in to make sure you got there okay.
