so you want to go freelance… you really, REALLY want to go freelance? Tired of working for a boss? Want your own hours? Sleep late? Get this book, read it and then decide. It’ll give you a well-rounded education of what they don’t tell you in art school because what your professors were really interested in at that time wasn’t your education, but getting a piece of co-ed you-know-what while they collected their paycheck.

I bought the book primarily for chapter 12, “What Goes in a Portfolio”, because I am preparing to graduate. It is helpful and would benefit any graphic designer’s library.

My interests are much more in illustration rather than graphic design, so I frequently had to scan past a lot of the material that a graphic designer could use. There is a lot of great information here on the real nuts and bolts of running a home business – especially an artistic one – but I think anyone who wants to run thier own business could use a lot of the information and tools in this book to manage their time, money, and goals in an effective way. I have benefitted greatly from the use of this book and would happily recommend it to others.

Some useful information but a bit dated today. I expect an author about graphic design and illustration to have a better looking website and book cover, but hey that’s just me. If you can get this book cheap I would snag it up. There are some good points Michael brings up.

Well written, and comprehensive, though as the other poster remarked, it IS more for the Graphic Designer, but we are kind-of splitting hairs there. The main thing is that it delivers all that it promises and more, which means that by the time you finish, you’ll know if you want to take your passion any further into the illustration industry. Spoiler alert! The bottom line premise is that, even though working from home with an “illustrious career” (no pun intended) such as an “Illustrator” or “Graphic Artist” may seem like the perfect, easygoing job, NOTHING could be further from the truth, I know, I AM a freelance illustrator. (Click on my profile) The truth is, the industry is filled with carnivorous competition ready to eat you and your babies…you will work 12, 14, even 16 hours a day just to survive on Ramen noodles…you will go into debt from clients not paying you on time, and you will promote yourself when you are not working for years before you develop a stable clientele…are really you sure you want to pursue this career further?
With this book you will find out…
