Welcome to the Feisty Freelancer.

Happy book birthday to The Feisty Freelancer! The Feisty Freelancer book has launched through Dundurn Press! You can also buy the book through Amazon and Indigo


Are you a feisty, creative person? Independent, ideas-driven, and ready to work hard for the lifestyle you deserve? If so, you may be a feisty freelancer. Freelancing is not for the faint of heart, but it offers many rewards: control over your own schedule, the opportunity to choose projects that excite you, and the potential to build a satisfying business and lifestyle. 

Whether you’re a new writer or transitioning to freelance, this book will guide you through the practicalities of setting up a business, developing an online presence, finding clients, and creating a solid plan for success. You’ll even hear from other freelancers in enlightening Q&As.


Here at the Feisty Freelancer website, you’ll find news about the book launch, plus courses to help you get started on your writing journey, and a community you can join to connect with other creatives. Sign up for the newsletter below to stay connected, and visit the events page for book events or to join our free Freelancer Friday hangouts.
