This was a fairly straight-forward, guidance primer on preparing a writer with all the necessary information, and while building their cognizance of the market, on freelance writing. Although the book is a bit dated, I found that many of the common sense rules still made sense to me as an aspiring writer and there were many instances of things that it would have taken long to find out about were they not compounded in this non-fiction book. Additionally, the book lays out all the different forms of writing for you so that you are able to determine which ones you are interested in and the ones you are surely not likely to take.

Overall, good food for thought and a decent primer to freelancing. 3 stars.

This is a worthy little book and probably worth seeking out for the chapter on euthanasia alone if you are facing such a decision. It is also a very good antidote for when you have feckless people telling you "it's only a cat/dog/bird, get another one!" The author quite obviously realizes just how deep and cherished these relationships are, and that is helpful

However ... I have to say, and this isn't really a put-down, that I wish there was a book like this particularly for atheist pet-lovers. I try not to diss anyone's belief system(s), but the number of owner confessions here that include something like "I feel better knowing that Frisky is in heaven" left me cold. The author herself plumps squarely down on the side of the power of prayer, and ultimately I am left feeling a bit more left out than included.

I recently lost a wonderful cat, and started reading this when I learned of the seriousness of her condition. Now that she is gone, I am finishing the book ... and it has helped. It has loosened lots of tears, and assisted my eventual acceptance of how Pez' life ended. There's a lot of value in that.

Be careful of the Kindle edition, which has some very wack formatting toward the end: lots of partly repeated sentences.
