“The Linked Goldmine for Freelance Writers” delivers what was promised.  It is informative, letting anyone who reads be aware of valuable resources available online for using LinkedIn to promote their talents.One learns what needs to be followed up on rather than trying to research and ending up confused. Considering the frequency of technological changes, you need to consult the resources to implement.  The all important aspect of presentation for the aspiring writer is provided.  If it is not engaging in appearance, the message may not even be reviewed.  Need I say more?You can tap into many more gems for freelancing.A complaint I do have is the need for a visual scan of a PDF is needed to avoid no-nos.  For example the header of a sample letter was at the bottom of a page with the remainder of the letter on the next page—it should have been on the same.  Also, paragraphs when split should have no less than one line on a page.  There should be at least two lines.  If that’s not possible then all should go in the next page.  This may not be in the final copy.  I had to have a PDF and these observations are those encountered with conversions thus the need to review and adjust for a desired result.  THe author did not make the request nor convert for my receipt.  Perhaps a point of contention, I took off a star because the presentation to me was off-kilter.  I added back a star for the printed version which I expect to be A-1.I was requested to provide a review of an advance copy of this book in exchange for a free copy which I did.  Fortunately it was a fast read since I had a limited amount of time.
