The world of a freelance writer is fraught with dangers and dead ends. But, when a freelance artist works hard, networks her fingers to the bone, and negotiates pay like a tenacious wolverine, she just might make a nice-sized place of herself in the world of professional writing. Some of the oldest names in literature were freelance writers: Shakespeare had a job writing copy for the local middle school gazette, Moses ghostwrote five books before making a name for himself, and Salman Rushdie wrote greeting cards and birthday cake taglines before becoming the famous author he is today. So, whether you are young and foolhardy or just looking for a career that will let you work from home, I hope freelance writing works for you.

In this free video series, expert writer Rebecca Sato will show you how to become a professional writer. She handles how to write proposals, manuscripts, and first chapters, how to get paid, how to stay professional, and how to handle writer's block. Rebecca also teaches you the ropes of writing as a business, how to develop characters, how to keep the big picture in mind, and more. It is all here! You'll be a professional writer in no time!
