Renegade Writer Totally Unconvention 2ND Edition

by Linda Formichelli

Renegade Writer Totally Unconvention 2ND Edition Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Written by two freelancers who broke the rules to win the game, this handbook contains a wealth of information for writers who are frustrated by the seemingly limited ways to operate in the freelance market. It explains that freelancers can negotiate for more money and better terms without risking their careers, shows that editors are not the writer-gobbling monsters many freelancers fear, and explains how to establish and foster work relationships. In this updated second edition there are more ideas, more rules to break, and more resources to get started, including a suite of appendixes covering topics such as contract procedures, getting paid, services for freelancers, generating ideas, and doing research. As inspiration, the book includes examples of real writers who have gone against "expert" advice and flourished. Being shy doesn't pay, and following the rules puts a writer in a long line of other sheep; with this text as a guide, writers can step out of the herd and build a successful business in a crowded market.<BR>

This book would have received a 5-star rating had there not been typos or such overuse of ethnic slang (not profanity, just very culturally specific, which disrupted the reading). The format of the text is also annoying, but easy to ignore once you get into the material. Overall, Renegade Writer is very informative and helpful.
