Solid advice and very down to earth
Her writing style is as entertaining as it is informative. If it's hard to imagine a how-to guide being devoured with gusto, then you haven't read this book. Very difficult to put down, and eye-opening as she walks you through what it takes to become a freelance writer. It's got some raw language, but that's not a turnoff for me.

An excellent book for beginning and even mid career freelancers. This book offers resources and proactive strategies about where to find clients and how to pitch. It’s also a great motivational tool thanks to the author’s personal insights. Highly recommend.
