I recently got my knickers in a wad because of a panic email from a client. Feeling frustrated, I went to our forum and asked for suggestions on how to handle this sort of thing. I got some good ones too.

There are 52 new jobs for freelance writers and editors posted today.
Sometimes I can’t tell if a job is a true freelance job or not. When I decide to post one of these I have visions in my head that several of you will apply and have such great credits the company will want you. […]
Michael Orr, a Canadian writer who specializes in essays about film, has written an essay about how he gets his writing done. It’s called A Few Thoughts On Writing Well. I found it interesting because of our similarities and our differences in approach.
My interactions with other writers tells me that we all approach this business […]
I just posted 51 new jobs for freelance writers and editors.
I’m seeing another rash of the “write a gillion 200-500 word articles for almost nothing” ads again. It’s always a puzzle. I generally post what I think are the best of them on the theory that new and would-be writers can use them to build […]

Send an email to: Lynn Wasnak: lwasnak@fuse.net, put rate survey in the subject line and she’ll forward you a copy - it’s available in .doc, .pdf and .rtf - .doc is the default […]
I’ve long felt that getting the first rejection slip is the first step in a successful freelance writing career, or it least it can be. The real key is what you do after you get that first rejection.
Sure, you need a moment or two to lick your wounds, but there’s nothing to be gained wallowing […]
Like so many, I subscribe to a variety of email lists. Some are about writing, others refelct my politics. There’s one about yoga, another about journalism… the list goes on.
So often I never get to these and after a week or a month, my email box is stuffed with stuff I intend to read but […]
Good grief! I just posted 67 new freelance writing and editing jobs - and that’s only true, do it at home in your pjs jobs. It looked to me like there are also plenty of on-site, part time, contract and long-term jobs for writers and editors.
If you want to receive notice of job postings and […]
