Essential read for total freelance newbies wanting to break in like me. This book is both informative (though broadly so--though Goodman is a writer, she attempts to speak to all potential freelance disciplines, which sometimes works here and sometimes doesn't) and fun to read. Don't expect a one-stop-shop--I definitely still have research to do after reading this--but do expect a jump-start course full of interesting quotes and tips from freelancers across disciplines.
