A Lively Discussion about Being Paid

There's been a lively discussion on the IWW's Writing Discussion List about freelance writers working for free. One writer, an essayist who has been published in national venues, offered these resources "for those thinking about writing and money in the same sentence, here are a couple of websites that speak to that topic and more precisely about giving it away."

• Erik Sherman's WriterBiz: A spot about the business of writing as seen by a freelance writer. That includes marketing, sales, contracts, copyright, planning, research - in short, the business end of writing.
• The Long Tail: A public diary on themes around a book.
