about now, you may be wondering who i am and why i'm qualified to write this book. fair question. here's the answer:

why i'm qualified to help you

reason one: i am a full-time freelancer with more than 1,500 shorts and feature articles to my credit. i've accomplished this by positioning myself as an expert in four fields: history, computers, genealogy and collecting. if there are freelance writing jobs in my specialties, i know how to find them.

reason two: although i still send out an occasional query, most of the time editors contact me for assignments. in fact, a few months back i received a phone call from a book editor at f&w publications. she said the company wanted to publish a book on a certain subject, and "we want you to be the one to write it." i signed the contract in november.

reason three: i've learned that the secret of freelance success is focusing on one or more specialized markets, then market your articles as creatively as possible. example: i like writing about collecting, and have learned to market it to magazines you probably wouldn't expect. check out the february 2002 issue of astronomy magazine. turn to page 70 and read the feature article i wrote on collecting "space stuff". that one piece brought me $1,000.

don't take my word for it. listen to what other writers say.

"i really enjoyed your book. i think you did a great job with the layout; it's the first e-book i've seen that looks professional. and i think you've done a wonderful job of covering the basics. i enjoyed the interviews too. the info on cameras was interesting to me--i've been thinking about getting a digital camera and it was a good overview (believe me, i know nothing!) as well." - kelly james-enger , freelance writer specializing in health and fitness

yesterday, after two frantic weeks of work, i finally finished my latest article. i shot down to the post office to mail the package -- and picked up the world's largest bolt in my rear tire. last night i figured i deserved to settle down in bed and read my christmas present to myself -- your book on niche marketing. i'd printed it out, but had been too nuts with my deadlines to even touch it.

nancy, it was great. i'm not an absolute beginner, but there was lots of good information for someone trying to crack the national and niche markets (read that "better paying") as i am. and the chapter on cameras is worth the entire book! there were the answers to what i've been asking. - judith reppucci , freelance writer

hendrickson provides valuable insight and references that both the beginning and experienced freelancer can use to further their career. this is one of the few how-to books i've read with the same curiosity as a page-turner novel. --steve meyer , contributing editor firehouse magazine, editor iowa fire chief's association newsletter.
