Helpful if a little vague. This might be because she lumped writing and editing together, but most of the advice was very high-level. I wish there was more detail about the actual starting of a freelance business as the title implies (new freelancers).

So, I definitely contribute my review and rating of this book to reading Barbara Fuller's How to Start a Home-based Editorial Services Business before I read Morrow's. Both of them were good, and they were similar in a lot of respects. I absolutely loved all of Morrow's appendices and templates more than the templates in Fuller's. And I like the fact that Morrow didn't place a whole lot of emphasis for working for corporate clients, which I felt Fuller did a lot.

3.5 stars. This book provides some useful information for new freelancers, though I found it to be too light on tax/business registration info (granted, the laws surrounding these topics differ according to location). Some of the information is too basic, such as advising newbies that they will need a computer and office supplies. Um, yes ... you will need these things for freelancing writng and editing.

I read this book as I was starting my new business, and it made my life that much easier. The practical tips for leveraging your network and social media kickstarted my business, and the templates, especially the daily maintenance checklist, taught me the basics. If you're looking to start an editing or writing business, pick up a copy of this book!

Short and sweet, a helpful, practical guide to setting up a writing and editing freelancing business in Canada. Recommended.
