Chances are good, if you're here at All Freelance Writing, you're exactly the kind of freelance writer who could benefit from the latest edition of The Well-Fed Writer.

Cold calling magazine editors might not work the way cold calling corporate prospects would, but there's more to The Well-Fed Writer that might be helpful for you. For example, if things have been slow with your usual projects, you might find high-paying alternatives to pursue with your skills, even if it's temporary.

And who knows? Maybe Peter's sales and marketing tips will even help you get more creative about how you pursue non-commercial gigs and close deals with editors. In addition to fresh edits, "tightening up" of the book as Peter put it, and updating where necessary because, let's be real, a lot has changed over the last decade or so , you'll also find more background on some of the project types freelance commercial writers take on.

Peter asked me to contribute a short intro to public relations writing that appears in this new edition. Side note: I've also contributed to the Well-Fed Writer email newsletter several times this year, with two more pieces due out in December and February. You can check those out in the e-newsletter archives and subscribe to make sure you don't miss upcoming editions.
