The good news is, you don't have to weed through all of the books, magazines, and online articles about freelance writing. (It's probably not humanly possible, anyway, so save yourself the headache.) I've learned that the best approach is to locate a few top-notch resources and revisit them as needed.
Below is a short list of the books and websites I've found most helpful for freelance writing. You'll get encouragement, but no hand-holding, no sugarcoating, and no unrealistic promises. These freelance writing resources are all about debunking myths and providing information you can really use.
Book: The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success, 2nd Edition,
Linda Formichelli and Diana Burrell. Blog: http://www.TheRenegadeWriter.com
The central concept of this book is: succeed in the world of freelance writing by breaking the rules. Whether you're a beginner hoping to snag your first published clip or a more experienced writer who's looking for a fresh approach, The Renegade Writer will clear up many of the freelance writing issues you may be fretting over. After you've read the book, visit the blog to ask questions, post comments, and read interviews with experts.
The tone is funny and upbeat-sweet relief from all of those dull books you've been forcing yourself to read. But don't let the authors' friendliness fool you. They aren't suggesting that freelance writing success is easy, or that you should expect to make six figures in your first year. They're out to encourage you by arming you with the information you need-and that may include the stuff you don't want to hear.
