-Robin Kellogg, author and book coach

"This book is inspiring. Andrea Reider describes the high-wire act of freelance book design and typesetting while keeping it real. In a business where radical change is the norm, she demonstrates how to negotiate success, failure, and everything in between. Reider's book is exemplary. It will inspire you even if you are in a different line of work or just living your life. Read it!"

A freelancer before freelancing became well-known, she has so much wisdom to offer. Freelance to me equals freedom, and Andrea outlines what has worked for her in a clear, concise manner. A superb guide to breaking free from traditional office work to striking out on your own and loving the work you do!"
