Good for anyone who is interested in starting their own business in the creative field. Plenty of tips to help you set up, promote yourself, deal with clients. I would say this book is aimed at new business starters, but then there are plenty of tips and advice that exisiting business owners will find helpful.

As someone who has worked from home for 15 years, this is a great starter book for someone. Would make a great gift.

Informative book ideal for anyone thinking of starting a business or becoming a freelancer. Loads of tips and notes on how to raise the profile of your business and skills and promote yourself. Easy to read and very up to date with current business social media platforms. Interviews with successful business owners who are happy to share their own story. Thank you #NetGalley for the copy to review.

In this book Helen Jane Campbell interviewed inspiring, brave and creative experts across the UK and US, tapping into some incredible insights and pulling them together into this friendly guide, to offer that support which we all need from time to time.

This book’s for you if you’ve stopped feeling ‘hungry’ for new client work, you’re starting up for the first (or second or third!) time, or you’ve simply run out of steam. The author's intention is to offer a wealth of ideas and fresh perspectives to inspire you at any stage of your independent creative career.

Whether you're chasing a better quality of life, finding your calling, leaving a legacy or focused on reaching your potential, this book can help you succeed when working on your own feels like an uphill struggle. It also offers a reality check and support for anyone who has the appetite to go solo, but who is nervous about taking the plunge.

I really liked Helen Jane Campbell's writing style, her strong voice comes through in a friendly, chatty style so that even when she's talking about certain aspects of freelancing that some may find uncomfortable (eg finances), it feels completely natural and not at all intimidating. Starting up a business can feel like an insurmountable challenge at times but Campbell's style helps reassure the reader and make everything seem totally possible.

Campbell covers a number of topics that could be stifling your creativity or putting you off trying to go it alone. She uses case studies alongside her own experience to give practical advice and demonstrating her credentials to be the one giving this advice.

I am a freelance writer myself. To be perfectly honest, I did not find this book to be of much practical use or interest. Perhaps it would be of more use to someone closer to the start of their career. Perhaps it would be of more interest to an American reader. But generally I found it to be too vague to be of any real help.

This was nothing like what I was expecting. I think the book went in a completely different direction than I was looking for.

Really loved this title. Definitely a perfect read for anyone who wants to be a freelancer to those that are already freelancing.
