Reviews

This book is an absolute godsend for anyone wanting to take the step into freelance journalism. It's not only fantastic as a go-to text for students but for industry professionals wanting to take the plunge. As well as de-mystifying the commissioning process, it provides a comprehensive toolkit that I wish I had when I first went freelance. Journalism courses across the country should have this as a core text. Lisa Bradley, Director for Learning and Teaching for Journalism, The University of Sheffield, UK A comprehensive, practical, and, most importantly, honest account of how to make it work as a freelance. A lack of transparency and information is the biggest problem facing any new freelance - and this book is the perfect antidote. I wish I'd had a copy when I was first starting out. Jem Collins, Director and Editor, Journo Resources
