WRITING magazine has included my book, The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World, in its Writers' Bookshelf.
This is what reviewer, Richard Bell, has to say:
The series of Greatest Tips in the World already includes books offering the greatest tips for golf, cookery, yoga, and some twenty other subjects.
Now comes The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World. Linda Jones has been a reporter and a news editor on major regional papers, and is now a widely published freelance writer. She is well qualified to suggest the greatest tips.
Her book is not about writing skills; she assumes that her readers are already competent writers but need more advice on getting published and improving their writing income. She therefore places emphasis on how to come up with ideas for saleable material and how to market it once you have written it.
Researching your markets, finding ideas that meet their needs, and selling those ideas (‘ideas are currency,’ as Linda Jones puts it); these are what The Greatest Tips is all about.
The author has tips not just on magazine and newspaper markets, but also on Internet and commercial opportunities, and even has advice on the gentle art of getting paid. She says that her book aims to ‘offer realistic advice to those at the start of a freelance writing career’. It certainly does that.
Good one!
