Freelance Writing for the 'Newbie' Writer attempts to demystify the whole concept of creative freelance writing even while bringing out its pitfalls. The book highlights issues like importance of language, niche writing, querying an editor, reviewing a book, how to spot and avoid scams, plagiarism, and the requirements for publishing a book, etc. It is essentially an introduction to the art of how to make your writing 'work' for you, as a newbie freelancer, needing to make a living out of it. The book does not tell you how to write. Instead, it tells you what to expect and what not to expect while you 'freelance' write.
