User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars Good advice, but hopelssly outdated
The Tedesco brothers have written a book with good advice, useful infomation, and many links to sites using freelance writers. Some of the information is still valid, and for that it is worth reading. However, the book is hopelessly outdated, as the Interent is constantly changing.
5 Stars Good Information - Simply Presented
As a mom of two boys under the age of 4, and a freelance writer , I didn’t (and still don’t) have a lot of time to devote to researching online markets for possible queries. This book has done all the work for me in a fun and relaxed read. The Tedesco brothers begin the book with all the web-related jargon and skills you need, including a great primer on sending HTML files, followed by a thorough complilation of “paying” online markets. This is one book that serious freelancers must have if you want to break into the online marketplace.
5 Stars Excellent resource
This resource for writers is excellent. Funny and well-written, the authors really did their homework. Best of all, updates are available for readers. I heard from the author personally via e-mail. Very nice.
5 Stars Online Markets For Writers review
If you’re even remotely serious about writing online, you need this book. The spotlight stories were very informative and the markets section is filled with leads. I lost count of how many markets I found that I’m querying.
5 Stars Phenomenal Book For Writers
-This book covers all the basics you need for writing online; the how to’s of query letters, electronic rights, pay rates, contracts, and more. It’s informative, well presented, and enjoyable to read. In addition, the authors even have a sense of humor. I’ve ordered other books on the subject and “Online Markets for Writers” is clearly the best.
-MUCHO THANKS TO THE AUTHORS FOR MAKING THIS INFO AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE!
