How
to Become a Fulltime Freelance Writer
A Practical Guide to Setting Up a Successful Writing
Business at Home (Road Map to Your Writing Career)
By Michael
A. Banks
Where does a person start in learning
the correct methods to turn their part-time freelance writing into
a successful full time career? This question has probably crossed
the minds of every writer at least once in their quest to expand
their writing experience. Who wouldn't dream of being their own
boss, with the ability to set their own working hours?
In
How to Become a Fulltime Freelance Writer: A Practical Guide
to Setting Up a Successful Writing Business at Home (Road Map to
Your Writing Career), Michael A. Burns reveals tried and proven
methods that have helped him launch his own twenty-year writing
career. His publication credits include more than 40 novels, 2,000
magazine and newspaper articles, and dozens of short stories.
What
I admired most about this book is that it gives you all the facts
to consider, before you decide, if being a full-time freelance writer
is something you can learn to adapt to your daily lifestyle. Not
only does Mr. Burns give you invaluable resources to help you find
actual work, he also allows you to see what type of financial sacrifice
you may experience when you are first starting out. I feel this
book is an invaluable reference tool. It is a book that all serious
writers should have on their bookshelves, for it provides a wealth
of knowledge and years of experience. I am convinced this helpful
book has information that will never be outdated, for the author
has seen to it that his techniques will work for any generation
of aspiring writer.
