The writing life has always held an aura of glamor and mys-tery
for many people. As a writer, you meet famous and intriguing
people, learn and write about fascinating topics, and set your
own hours. But along with the glamor comes hard work. Writing is
a business, and to be successful, you have to become an effective
self-promoter, an able negotiator, an adept researcher, and a
talented writer.
Sound daunting? Not at all, if you follow the advice provided by
Christine Adamec, an established freelance writer. Adamec clearly
provides the key elements to lead you to a successful writ-ing
career. She will help you decide if you have the mindset of a

on your way to profit and (possibly) fame. You can easily cut
years off your path to success with this book, as you follow the
advice on what you should do and learn to steer clear of errors
commonly made by new writers.
Some key topics covered in this book are:
∙ Personality traits and skills of the successful writer
Who hires writers and how do I find them?
How much should I charge?
How do I set up interviews and what questions should I ask?
∙ How do I write a book proposal that will be noticed by
