This Writer is a Renegade

Diana Burrell, co-author of "The Renegade Writer" and "Query Letters That Rock" is a renegade when it comes to what she loves about the freelance writing life:

"For me, it's all about the control. Working on projects I think are interesting and valuable,versus having to be a "team player" on a project that's clearly a waste of time. Getting more choice about the people I work with. Feeling like I'm creating something worthwhile. Knowing there's a whole host of things I can do to boost income versus hoping for the 3 percent annual increase and a free turkey on T-day."
