Audible Book Review: The Business of Being a Writer by Jane Friedman

 


If you are a writer, if you're thinking of making a career out of writing, or if you want to learn more about the business part of being a writer, then you need to read The Business of Being a Writer by Jane Friedman. 

After having spent decades in the publishing industry, Friedman shares her vast knowledge about what it takes to be successful. This in-depth resource is broken down into five sections:

  • Making a Life as a Writer
  • Understanding the Publishing Industry
  • Getting Published
  • The Writer as Entrepreneur
  • How Writers Make Money
Friedman, who has focused on author education and trend reporting for years, leaves no stone unturned as she gives you sound advice based on decades of experience. Just as important as learning the craft of writing, is learning how to successfully manage a writing business. Friedman dissects the publishing industry for you. She shares everything from generating leads to working with publishers to grants and contests and everything in between. If it has to do with the business of writing, then you will find it in The Business of Being a Writer. Three helpful appendices provide additional information and resources. 

Narrated by Tavia Gilbert, The Business of Being a Writer should be a go to resource for writers everywhere.
