'A career-changing book, packed with real, lived-in wisdom and
advice not just about working but really living as a self-employed
person. If you're thinking about going freelance, read this first'
Oliver Franklin-Wallis 'Invaluable ... A wonderful, warts and all
book written in a friendly, approachable manner. I wish I'd had a
book like this years ago' Simon Brew Self-employment has never been
a more popular career path, and for thousands of writers,
freelancing is becoming an appealing - and sometimes necessary -
option. But alongside the benefits of a freelance career come very
real obstacles that are daunting for anyone going it alone. We all
need some guidance. Sian Meades-Williams - freelance writer, editor
and founder of the Freelance Writing Jobs newsletter - knows all
too well that while freelancing doesn't come with hard and fast
rules, sometimes there is a wrong way to go about things. Drawing
on her extensive experience and dozens of industry interviews, she
pulls back the curtain with tips on how to get out of your pyjamas
and pitch effectively, find new ideas and hone your voice, build a
network of contacts, deal with edits and editors, cope with
rejection, know your worth and get more money for your work, manage
your finances, deal with late payments and file your taxes, care
for your physical and mental health and ultimately find a path to
success that makes you happy. Inspiring, optimistic and - above all
- real, The Pyjama Myth is an essential, practical survival guide
for anyone embarking on their career, established freelance writers
and everyone in between.

Haikus and Home Truths Started on a trip to Japan, as a way of
using the sleepless jet-lagged nights, composing haikus became
something of an obsession. Gradually the idea formed for using the
vehicle of the haiku poem to take a heart-journey, from a
travelogue, charting the trip of a lifetime, to an inner journey of
reflection. This illustrated collection invites the reader to
travel with the author, to ponder, perhaps to smile, and to
discover the versatility of this classic Japanese poetic form.
