To use this ebook as an example, they use verbiage like "freelance writing" or just "writing". But the unspoken audience is journalists. So the advice doesn't hit home for the broader audience who found this ebook.
The audience who found this book includes many kinds of professional writers. They thought they found something general and for them. This is evident in the reviews here on GoodReads.
If you market a book for one audience but write it as another, you create a problem.
That issue aside, I'd rate this book a solid 4-star if I was a new freelance journalist. The first eight points address how to make the most of interviews. You don't need to visit your source--just phone them. Have a short interview. Don't write much more than the word count you need. And some other similar points.
The last five points of the book provide value for any writer, especially newer ones.
For instance, I'm learning that I don't need to take as many hours writing a blog as I have. Blogs don't need sources to be authoritative. I can write in the morning, get my thoughts out, and have a solid 600-800 word post in less than an hour. I'd still need to edit, but about point in the book is to dump perfectionistic editing.
In all, if you're a journalist, this book will help you streamline your interview process. If you're a new writer, give the last five points a chance to get ahead of the productivity curve.… (mais)
