Book
Good news – The Feisty Freelancer will be published in January 2025 by Dundurn Press!
Since I first drafted The Feisty Freelancer in 2015 as an ebook for my students in the Professional Writing and Communications program at Humber College, I’ve been expanding the manuscript and adding new chapters to reflect evolving elements of freelancing (looking at you, AI). Now the book will be published in 2025 to provide both new writers and experienced writers new to freelancing with a friendly guide to starting your own business.
Like my workshops, the book is based on my 20+ years of working as a freelancer and includes helpful, actionable advice that you can use to help create your ideal lifestyle.
What topics are covered in The Feisty Freelancer? Glad you asked, here’s an overview:
- Understanding and embracing freelancing
- Planning your business

- Getting paid for your work: pricing services

- Plus a chorus of Q&As from other freelancers!
