I have read so many books on how to become a freelance writer, but really haven't found them very useful.  This book was different as it offers really useful information for those who are just starting out as writers, but also offers great tips and strategies for those who may have been writing for a while but haven't had much success.  Ms. Hendrickson offers solid guidance on not only how to write successfully but she offers great tips on self-publishing and marketing as well.The book is very well organized and begins with a very inspirational chapter on why there has never been a better time to become a freelance writer and what it will take to do it successfully. She then goes on to help the writer identify and establish their own platform and how to build a website to market yourself and your writing services. There is an extremely helpful section on the query process and Hendrickson gives useful examples to guide you on how to create a great one to get you noticed and the steps to avoid that will prevent you from getting rejected.This book is truly one of the best I have seen for writers and whether you are looking for help in e-publishing, writing for magazines, how to manage your time or how to find writing jobs and what you should charge for them; this book is a very comprehensive guide.  Every writer can benefit from this book and I highly recommend it.  I for sure will reference back to it often.
