A book to own ( )

Those who follow me might notice a trend. I am reading a series of books on freelance writing and on writing and communication in general. This book, part of a series by Writer’s Digest, talks about how the author continues to pursue a career in freelance writing.

Petit talks about the art of the query (i.e., pitching an idea), how to freelance both as a full-timer and as a part-timer, and what to expect from the business end of the transaction. For his credential, Petit is a senior editor at Writer’s Digest magazine. He knows the industry both as a writer and as an editor.

The book is full of examples and thoughts about emerging issues. It’s a good, solid review of what it takes to get published again and again.
