How has your world as a freelance writer or author changed this year? Are you noticing differences in your income, your number of clients, your number of assignments, how quickly you are being paid, the number of books you are selling, etc? Is the recession finally starting to touch you where it hurts—your livelihood, your choice of lifestyle?
The trickle-down effect is certainly beginning to trickle down, isn’t it? The magazines you write for are folding, folks aren’t buying books, the authors you edit for are not hiring editors (some have gone back to work and aren’t writing, others are giving their books a lick and a promise and are bypassing a professional editing).
So today, I would like to know the answers to two questions:
1: How is your freelance writing business, book sales or plans for a pending book being affected by the recession?
2: What are you doing about it?
Two simple questions. Respond to them either via the “comments” function of this site or email me at PLFry620@yahoo.com. Everyone who responds receives their choice of ebooks:
How to Write a Successful Book Proposal in 8 Days or Less
The Author’s Repair Kit
Catscapades, Tales of Ordinary or Extraordinary Cats
The Successful Writer’s Handbook
The responder with the best idea for the rest of us gets a FREE copy of my book in print: The Right Way to Write, Publish and Sell Your Book.
This offer is good through May 1, 2009.
