5.0 out of 5 stars A worthwhile investment of your money, July 2, 2003

By	Patricia Haley (Baltimore, MD, USA) - See all my reviews

Ms. Frutchey's book is an absolute must for anyone planning on starting (or perhaps just thinking about starting)their own editorial consulting business. She's been through it all before, and is passing along the good, the bad, and the potentially ugly of everything involved. Her book can help anyone navigate more easily through everything from setting up an office to negotiating fees and getting insight on just exactly what the client wants you to do. She has provided an essential timesaver by reporting truthfully on what she's been through, and what you can expect. This book also contains many helpful references and websites for more information, help, and job leads. She's done her homework, and it shows.
