5.0 out of 5 stars A Writer's Roadmap to Success, February 13, 2002

By	Constance Myers (Sandy, UT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is the book I wish I'd had when I began my freelance career.
I've benefited from Shirley Kawa-Jump's experience for several years as I've read her articles advising writers on everything from markets to marketing. Her "Complete Guide" is just that -- a complete guide to everything a freelancer needs to know as he begins or expands his freelancing career. I recommend this book to my writing students and to any freelancer desiring success in the writing world.
