Testimonials
"[Your worksheets on setting freelance fees] are a tour-de-force! What a terrific resource -- clear, logical, beautifully thought out ... Surely you've thought about expanding this into an e-book format and selling it? I recently read [another book on the topic] and liked it a lot, but your "system" is much more thorough. It asks more of the user, which is as it should be, because the user gets a LOT out of it." --Wynne Brown. Writer, Editor, Graphic Designer, Illustrator
"I attended my first EFA meeting on Tuesday night, and I didn’t want another day to go by without thanking you for an awesome presentation. It was almost as if you read my mind and immediately began to compile answers to the questions you found there (among the lint and old socks). I’m quite sure there were others in the room who were just as mystified about the business as I was until they encountered your talk. I discovered that I wasn’t as far off as I thought I was, but as I’ve been operating in a vacuum, I had no idea if I was on the right track. Many, many thanks for the 'mentoring!' … I usually don’t do backflips when I compliment someone, but your talk was a game changer for me, and I really felt you needed to know about it." --Dave Sewell, aka The Tucson Wordsmith
"[T]hanks again for all the advice on rates. It really helped me price out this job, and just as importantly, offer my proposal to the would-be client without apologies. Yip!" --Susan W. Editor and Designer
