When I decided I was going to leave The Big Issue and go freelance I sought advice from colleagues. ‘What is working freelance like?’, ‘How long will it be until I starve?’ and that sort of thing. I also bought a few books. The advice I got from colleagues was great, the books were crap however.
So I had this idea that I would write a book, full of advice from real freelance journalists and editors about how you should go about tackling the world’s ’second oldest profession’. I bumped into some friendly people from How to Books at the London Book Fair and told them about my idea.
Six months later, the deadline is looming and I still don’t believe it is really happening. It must be really happening because there is a listing for it on Amazon.
