Working For Free – Think First
Matt Glover is a freelance cartoonist and blogs at Chewing Pencils. (See, it’s not just us writers who chew pencils!) He’s got a great story he tells on himself about a job he almost gave away.
It’s called Clients and Emotions and it’s definitely food for thoughts for freelance writers and editors.
Incidentally, although Matt’s work is new to me, I have worked with cartoonists – sometimes writing needs a cartoon or two. My book, Powerfully Recovered! has a cartoon for each chapter. So it’s good to know another one.
Write well and often,

1 opinion for Working For Free – Think First

This story was very meaningful to me. I am doing a free project for a friend and I have justified it in my mind but now as we all know, hindsight is 20/20 and I won’t do this again.
On the other hand, giving our work away to benefit a charity, or other worth while cause is admirable.
