Jenna Glatzer’s How to Make a Real Living As a Freelance Writer

Even though I’ve started stepping more into the marketing end of things I’m a writer at heart. It’s actually been a dream of mine since I was a little girl to be a published author. Nothing would please me more than to see my name in a glossy magazine these days.

While I really enjoy being an online ghostwriter, actually having my name attached to the things I write would be a dream come true. I recently picked up Jenna Glatzer’s “How to Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer” to help me succeed with this dream.

I was actually going to make this a “fair and balanced” review of the book, and I still am, but I truthfully can’t find a single thing wrong with the book. I adore Jenna’s writing style and she leaves nothing out.

It’s sad to say, but I didn’t really understand what a “query” was until I read this book. Not to mention FOBs BOBs and Mastheads. For those of you who are freelancers for magazines that kind of langauge comes naturally to you. For me it was like a foreign language.

After reading the book I now feel like I can take a stab at querying magazines, dealing with rejection, rejoicing when I get accepted, and finally getting my name in print. I wouldn’t even really do it for the money (though getting $900 for an article instead of $15 sounds pretty darned good to me). It would be my ultimate professional dream to become a go-to freelancer for some of the major magazines.

I plan on dipping my toes in a little at a time, perhaps starting with some of the smaller mags. Soon enough, I’ll see my name in print!

I definitely recommend Jenna Glatzer’s book if you also have a dream of writing for publications. Writing for Internet marketers is great, but there are a lot of opportunities out there for even better writing opportunities.
