"The combination of Thaler-Carter’s honesty and her obvious veteran and expert status as a freelancer makes this booklet a motivating and valuable reference. From the start, Thaler-Carter is up front about the advantages of freelancing ... but she is also quite candid about the pitfalls that you may find yourself in if you do not think through the prospect of working for yourself carefully.... I find Freelancing 101 an inspiring, motivating, and practical resource that anyone with freelancing aspirations most definitely should read...."
