Hubris,
By A Customer
This review is from: The $100,000 Writer (Paperback)
If you're a Type A personality, this is the book for you. If you're not, I suggest 'Secrets of a Freelance Writer' by Robert W. Bly or 'The Well-Fed Writer' by Peter Bowerman. Both authors deliver accurate, detailed and practical information; but, unlike Ms. Flynn, they do it with grace, style, humor and a modicum of humility. Both Bly and Bowerman lack hubris.I agree with the reviewer from Massachusetts: the overall tone of this book depresses me. Ms. Flynn is condescending at times. For example, she writes: "Have a problem with networking? Get over it." She reminds us in almost every chapter how successful she is. While this may add validity to her ideas, the tone gets tedious. So does wringing every last dollar from a client. To be fair, Ms. Flynn's section on avoiding sexist language is useful. Buy Bowerman's or Bly's book. You'll be able to make a good living as a freelance writer and still look at yourself in the mirror. As Ms. Flynn writes: "Making $100,000 as a freelance writer is not for everyone." Thank goodness, she is right.

$100,000 Worth of Knowledge Well Worth It,
By Ron Revadelo (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The $100,000 Writer (Paperback)
Before I read Nancy Flynn's book, I had contemplated doing freelance business writing work, however, I had no idea what types of projects there were, let alone what to charge. I thought that a few hundred dollars an issue was a good price to charge for a newsletter. Boy was I wrong, and I have Nancy to thank for expanding my vision. Not only does her book help the aspiring young (or old) writers develop fees for their projects, it helps the inexperienced writers broaden their business with supplemental products. That alone can double a writer's income. I didn't even know what a media list was before I read her book. Now, I not only know what it is, but I know how to use it to maximize my business writing income. Anybody who has even remotely considered freelance writing or starting their own business writing company needs to read this book. Not reading it could cost them a fortune.

Delivers on its promise,
By
This review is from: The $100,000 Writer (Paperback)
The title of Flynn's book makes a grand promise - and she delivers. As a person who's made a better than good living as a writer (and info entrepreneur) for the last 15 years, *this* is the one book I'd give to any of my writer friends who aspire to independence and a six figure income. Her material on how to find clients and how to manage them once you find them is priceless. I can't imagine a better introduction to the realities of this potentially lucrative business that is a mystery to so many.
