The Business of Writing Part 1: Business Start Up

By Elizabeth Ducie

Second edition; now covering both UK and US systems.

In addition to the print version, The Business of Writing is also available as a series of ebooks, each dealing with a different aspect of the writer's business toolbox. It provides a simple route by which writers can set up and run their own small businesses, and identifies the basic minimum standards that must be achieved, while freeing the writer to spend the maximum possible time writing.

Part One covers: business planning; objectives; thinking about finances; finding customers; doing the work; getting paid; working for nothing; business structures; tax matters; informal networks; professional networks.
