The Pyjama Myth: The Freelance Writer's Survival Guide by Sian Meades-Williams
informative
inspiring
fast-paced
4.0
This was a good and useful book! I really liked and valued how Sian shared her own experiences, including her past mistakes, as this felt really relatable and made me feel less bad about my own mistakes. There was some useful information about PR and taxes and stuff that I wasn't aware of before. I picked this up and read it sporadically over half a year so I'm not sure I got as much out of it as I would have if I'd read it all in one chunk, but that's just how I read nonfiction books. There are definitley some bits I want to go back and re-read, like the guide on pitching. I've also highlighted useful bits for ease of reference. I think that's probably the best way to use this book. But yeah if you've picked it up I hope you enjoy it, and good luck with your freelance career!
