Summary: A completely up-to-date instructional reference
Comment: A previous edition of Lucy V. Parker's "How To Start A Home-Based Writing Business" was recommended by the staff of Midwest Book Review to anyone aspiring to earn a living through their writing as being "A superbly presented, complete-in-one-volume manual. An invaluable user-friendly, highly recommended 'how to' guide specifically for freelance writers." Now in a newly updated and expanded seventh edition, that original assessment has been further strengthened and justified. Featuring a jargon-free, eminently practical, informed and informative text of instruction, advice, and commentary, "How To Start A Home-Based Writing Business" is enhanced with the inclusion of Business-Success Worksheets, Prospect Information Forms, Estimate Forms, Job-Log and Job-Control Forms, a Checklist of Key Client Types, Profiles of Success Stories, Guidelines for Software Selection, Business Resources, and a Source Directory making it a completely up-to-date instructional reference that will prove enduringly valuable to anyone seeking to establish a career writing be it with fiction, non-fiction, or any combination of the two

Summary: Home Based Writing Business
Comment: My writing has become more focused since reading Ms. Parker's book. It is a detailed work on writing a business plan and planning a business. It guides the reader into his/her specialty and since my writing lacked focused, this book is on point.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Overview
Comment: This book is a very good overview of the business of writing from home. Just don't expect to see much indepth information here.
A good book for those just starting out and looking for information on the generalities of home-based work as well as some marketing ideas for the writing business specifically.
If your brand new to this area then I highly recommend this book. If you already have a home-based business or know most of the information needed for starting one up then I suggest other more specific books for your writing business.
Customer Rating:

If you're ready to launch your own writing business or want to maintain a successful writing business, make sure you read this book by Lucy Parker. It's one of those books you will keep turning back to for insightful advice. I have been an avid reader of How to Start a Home-Based Writing Business since the first edition.
