I’m a freelancer new to the game. I have been offered a gig at a local parenting magazine that has a huge circulation. They have only recently sent the writers agreement even though my column has already appeared in two issues. I really need some advice, like I said, I’m a newbie and […]

Dear Anne,
I’m a regular reader of your newsletter and always look inside the job postings list. I would like to find a writing job I can do from home one day but it is proving to be rather difficult.
One thing is that some jobs are for US based people only. Another obstacle is […]

Hi Anne:
At what point in a freelancers career is it appropriate to set up a website? I have one national publication and at least 10 regional publications. Is this too early. If so how long should you wait to set up a site?

I ran into a fascinating blog called Eccentric Employment. I’ve always been fascinated by the way people earn money, and Jade Walker has a great collection.

Tina Marie Frawley writes a blog called The Freelance Writer’s Lounge. She’s got a post called Following Instructions Counts!
It’s the story of what happened when she posted an ad for a writer on CraigsList.
Read it and weep… or maybe celebrate. Celebrate because you read the ads carefully and respond thoughtfully, following any instructions […]

Any of you who have been following this blog for awhile know I’m not fond of sites or situations that put freelance writers in the position of bidding on jobs. But there’s another type of opportunity out there that might seem like a bidding offer but isn’t.
That’s the Request For Proposal or RFP. Most often […]
