I am charged with helping newbie freelance writers break into the business, BUT I find it helps me retain an audience when I ALSO talk to intermediate freelancers and kind of follow the road (or roadblocks) where it goes. So I guess what I'm saying is EVERYONE'S invited! :) <abbr><em>Allena Tapia’s last blog post..<a href="http://freelancewrite.about.com/b/2009/03/21/book-reviewing-one-path.htm" rel="nofollow">Book Reviewing--One Path</a></em></abbr> <strong><em>We can always learn more, can't we?

Thanks so much for the list. I've read Canadian author Pierre Burton's The Joy of Writing, which I've found helpful. I have the same problems as Joanne though.

I agree with you and nyc/caribbean ragazza about the Stephen King book, and I'd like to suggest the resource I'm reading at the moment, it is "Will Write for Food," by Dianne Jacob. This book can also introduce the next step, the niche topic as well, since it is a specific guide to writing cookbooks, restaurant reviews, articles, memoir and fiction about food. I am oriented in that direction, so that's my contribution to your great tool for us freelance scribblers.

One point I found very important (and intriguing) is how to protect yourself and your work from scams. Would you be able to expand on that a bit? I think it's important for those who are interested in freelancing to see the warning signs right from the get-go before jumping into something that seems to be too good to be true, and to only get burned in the end.
