Want to land freelance writing jobs and earn more as a freelance writer?
The Renegade Writer OMNIBUS is a compendium of almost every post published on the popular Renegade Writer blog from 2006-2016. The manuscript was over 1,400 pages long—single-spaced! There's enough information here on how to land freelance writing jobs to fill several books, all priced as low as a single e-book.
The 1,000+ posts on the blog (most of which are now in this book) cover everything we learned in our two decades as full-time freelance writers, from marketing tips to advice on developing the freelance mindset. We tell it like it is, and share the wonderful ups and the awful downs of the freelance life. We're not afraid to tell aspiring writers that freelancing is not a quick and easy way to fast cash—it takes resilience, persistence, great writing and marketing skills, dedication, and lots of hard work.
The Renegade Writer blog was a must-read for freelance writers for a decade, garnering over 15,000 unique views each month, winning the Top Ten Blogs for Writers prize multiple times, and being named a "Top 101 Website" by Writer's Digest Magazine year after year. The Renegade Writer blog has been mentioned in many top-notch publications, such as Ladies' Home Journal, Copyblogger, and Jon Morrow's Boost Blog Traffic.
In the Renegade Writer OMNIBUS you'll find all your fan favorites, like:
The posts in this book are in chronological order to give you a sense of how writing, freelancing, and blogging changed over the 10 years of the blog. We did our best to make the formatting consistent, correct any egregious mistakes, and remove most links (since many of them are dead at this point). We also removed some categories of posts, such as posts that were only marketing a book or class; posts announcing contests that are now (obviously) over; link round-ups; and guest posts where we weren't able to secure reprint permission. We also updated guest posters' bios where the writers asked for that. Otherwise, this book is a faithful rendition of the Renegade Writer Blog.
Please note that prices, classes, and products mentioned in this book are subject to change. Remember, some of these posts are over 10 years old!
