3.0 out of 5 stars
useful list of jobs, no useful specifics,
By "bookladyny" (new york) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Best Careers for Writers and Artists (Paperback)
It was useful and inspiring to see a list of writing-related jobs, as a reminder that there's more to a literate career than being a starving artist. However, I didn't find the information under the job listings to be that useful. Information on requirements and contacts was particularly vague and superficial (for job X, look in the classified for listings of job X openings). I think there must be better sources of information on these jobs elsewhere -- look further than this book.

This review is from: 100 Best Careers for Writers and Artists (Paperback)
A horrible book. I would give it 1/2 star if I could. Fluffy, over-generalized, miminal information. If Shelly Field is really such a well-known career consultnat, she could have done better. I am finding that books too easily get 5 star ratings on amazon.com, because this is the second one i've bought that has not turned out to be good.

Thanks For A Great Book Shelly!!!,
By pat (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 100 Best Careers for Writers and Artists (Paperback)
This book is so jammed pack full of great information I don't know where to start. I've always wanted to write and found this book. It is great! It gave me so many ideas about what I could do, offered all the information about each opportunity....and then unlike many other books, it actually gave tips for getting the great jobs. I had a couple questions, went to Shelly's website and she answered them via e-mail. I have many of Field's books. I love the way she formats them. It makes it easy to find just what you're looking for. It is pretty evident to me why she is one of the leading career consultants in the country. I'm so excited. I just received my first check for a freelance writing assignment and can't wait to see my byline. Thanks Shelly. You wrote a great book for people interested in writing as a career or as a sideline. I wish I could give it 100 stars.
