PYJAMA MYTH: The Freelance Writer's Survival Guide

Self-employment has never been a more popular career path and for thousands of writers, freelancing is becoming an appealing and sometimes necessary option. But alongside the benefits of a freelance career come some very real obstacles and we all need some guidance. Here the founder of the Freelance Writing Jobs newsletter draws on her extensive experience and dozens of industry interviews to pull back the curtain with tips on how to get out of your pyjamas and pitch effectively, find new ideas and hone your voice, build a network of contacts, deal with edits and editors, cope with rejection, know your worth, and get more money for your work, manage your finances, deal with late payments and file your taxes, care for your physical and mental health, and ultimately find a path to success that makes you happy. An inspiring and optimistic and possibly career-changing book where even old dogs can pick up new tricks. 246 page paperback.
