Summary: If you¿re a freelancer, do you specialize? You should...
Comment: and Ready, Aim, Specialize! tells you how. James-Enger shares the details, resources, and secrets you need to know about the top ten freelancing specialties: health, business and finance, parenting, travel, essays, diet, nutrition and food, technology, fitness and sports, profiles and features, and home and garden.
If you're not sure which area is for you, just read the first chapter. A simple exercise tells you where to focus.
In "Tales from the Front," James-Enger interviewed over 50 successful freelancers from each specialty for their tips and success stories. These interviews are like having personal mentors who tell you the most important steps to take as you pursue a new area.
Each specialty chapter also includes the nuts and bolts on how to crack the market and a large list of resources. Where do business writers find their experts? Find out in chapter seven. Should travel writers take complimentary trips from travel agencies? Read what the specialists think in chapter 10.
Every freelancer trying to make a living writing should read this book. Why? James-Enger knows what it takes to thrive (she has a six-figure writing income!), and this book leads you step-by-step from everyday generalist to successful specialist.

Summary: Savvy Tips for New and Established Writers
Comment: Whether you're a wannabe or an established pro, you'll find more value in this book than you ever anticipated. In today's economy, more and more magazines are marketing to a narrowly focused audience. For writers that means you need to position yourself as an expert in one more more fields. This book shows you exactly how to do that. The book begins by helping you recognize the specialties you already have. It then moves into the nuts and bolts of how to sell an article, find experts to interview, write and get paid! A step-by-step case study is included to illustrate each step of the process. I particularly enjoyed the section which profiled the ten hottest specialties. Each specialty chapter gives detailed information on breaking in, research, contacts and tips. As a fulltime freelancer wanting to expand into the health market, I found this section invaluable. I also believe the specialty chapters will help new writers understand what's involved in being successful in any given field--and perhaps even help them choose a field of focus. If you want to be a successful freelancer, imitate what successful freelancers are doing. And James-Enger is one of the best.
