I’ve been making my living as a writer for almost two decades, and I learned a lot from this book. It’s a no-nonsense, step-by-step action plan for anyone who wants to make a living as a creative artist. Despite having learned a lot over the years (the hard way) every chapter makes me say, “Oh, that’s what I did wrong that time. I should have done it like this.” This is the book I wish I had when I was starting out.
