The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in My House

I had heard lots of good things about Linda Jones' new book The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World, but nobody told me what a handsome little feller it is.  Hardback, so ideal for drumming your fingers on whilst thinking of a particularly apt metaphor, and with a blue ribbon bookmark attached so you can tie it to the Christmas Tree after you've read it.

And oh yes, the content.  Pretty much everything a freelance writer would need to know is covered in its pages.  Areas covered include:  pitching, writing for newspapers & magazines, blogging and commercial writing.  Linda gives us the benefit of her 20 year writing career with energy, enthusiasm and passion.  You could open it randomly at any page and feel confident that you'd learn something to benefit your writing career.

My only criticism of this book is that it could stand being an awful lot longer.  All of the tips are neccessarily short, and there were times when I could have done with fuller explanations.  I guess that will have to wait.  Roll on volume 2.
