This read like an annotated CV. Elkin goes quite thoroughly through her freelance writing career, as it developed from theme to theme. Though her general trajectory is inspiring, her success took hold in an earlier age, and I'm not sure how much here is useful as advice for aspiring freelancers. So much was specific to her particular situation, it's mostly of interest for someone who wants to know more about her. The exhaustive details became dull after a while. I would have found it more interesting to read a selection of her best pieces with short notes about how they came about.

A wonderful read!
Highly recommend!
