In case anyone's checking in on this lovely post-Labor Day day, I thought I'd pass along a resource that was really useful for me as I started freelancing two years ago:
Erik Sherman's Planning Your Writing Business class. He's offering it again, as you can see. Man, did it help me get a grip of how much time I really need to be spending on work versus marketing, and what my bottom-line per-hour rate needed to be. I highly recommend it. And since it's an online class, you can live anywhere.
Happy reporting!
