{"product_id":"writing-on-the-edge-robert-daley-9781495496851","title":"Writing on the Edge: The Ups and Downs of a Freelance Career","description":"Writing On The Edge is a trip through various worlds I came to know in depth from the inside: pro football, grand prix racing, French wine, bullfighting, The New York Times, opera, treasure diving, NY police headquarters, Hollywood, and, of course, France. These worlds are portrayed as I knew them, together with some of their major players with whom I became involved. So it's a memoir certainly, but it's also a primer for freelance writers: how to make a living at a tough trade-how I did it anyway. I had many successes and became what counts as a rich writer (meaning not very rich.) But there were many downs too- rejections, humiliations, and even lawsuits-but fewer of these as I learned to protect myself. A freelance writer is unemployed each time he finishes a contract. Where will next assignment come from? There is a certain amount of fear in any freelance life, and in this book too. My career brought big fees and fancy places, but not always. Not nearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Daley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1495496856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781495496851\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 474\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.95d","brand":"Robert Daley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46640619749631,"sku":"9781495496851","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4bb7ae0-9a44-4d94-9787-59ca804df3a6.jpg?v=1740670107","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/writing-on-the-edge-robert-daley-9781495496851","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
