Book Review: My So-Called Freelance Life

February 27th, 2009 · No Comments · book review


Michelle Goodman learned the hard way how to build a freelance writing business. Then she captured her wisdom in an easy-to-follow guidebook so you don’t have to make the same mistakes.

My So-Called Freelance Life takes you from the beginning dreams of leaving the cube farm behind to planning for your retirement, with great advice in between. One of the most important points she makes is to ensure that you charge what you are worth. As writers, we see the ads for ridiculously low-paying article and blogging jobs ($2 for 500 words? really?). Goodman describes why those types of jobs are simply not worth your time–and she gives you tips for deciding when a pro bono or low-paying job is worth it.

My complete review will appear in the July 2009 issue of The Willamette Writer.
