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 I am convinced this helpful book has information that will never be outdated, for the author has seen to it that his techniques will work for any generation of aspiring writer.
