Crucial .......2007-02-16
I can't encourage you enough to know the information in this book. There are even forms in the back for you to use when billing people. The last time I brought my invoice to someone they responded about how professional it was. Read this before you start making mistakes that will become very costly to you and your business!
great resource.......2006-11-10
This book was invaluable in the pricing process. It includes guides that most other books of this kind do not. For example, guides for how to calculate your annual overhead in order to take it into account with the pricing of every job. Great book, and I'm sure it will come in handy when it comes to pricing stock images.
great book.......2006-05-21
The only book you may ever need in general stock & assignment photography pricing. This is my conclusion after buying several books. Other books discuss the business but left the pricing. So this topic become "mysterious" for most photographers starting their business. Well thought and the authors are not afraid explaining their ideas in details. Very useful and serves as reference whenever you need it.
For specific subject combine with other book. E.g for nature photography business, combine this book with John Shaw's Nature Photography Business.
an invaluable guide for photographers.......2003-12-07
An invaluable guide for photographers providing information on pricing, negotiation and business behavior with clients, A very good book
An essential book for pro and would-be pro photographers.......2003-04-30
I'm called a veteran photographer these days, but I learned a lot from the newest edition of this book. It's easy to forget expenses when estimating or billing, and the book shows you how to avoid such pitfalls. There are many new stock uses relating to the web etc. and I now have a basis for pricing such uses. If you are starting out, read the book carefully, it's as good an introduction to the business end of photography -- that is of course about making money -- as you will get. If you know a photo student, give it to him or her as a graduation present. Highly reccommended.

For Serious Freelance Writers only!.......2007-07-04
Jenna is a great thought leader in this difficult, thrilling industry. She gives practical advice for those who want to make a real business out of writing. I get a lot of queries about how I stay in business--and I refer people to her book!
What References . . . .......2007-07-01
. . . do I rely on? Over and over again, I've been asked which books I turn to time and time again for reference. I can't believe I have talked about this book on here yet - I've been raving about it all over the Internet ever since its release. So, here I am, a bit late with a lot to say.
When it comes to venturing through the freelance writing world, it's not uncommon to take the first step with fear and a sort of sick feeling in your gut. You want to feel secure, want answers to all the hard questions, and you want your hand held. Well, Jenna's done all of that in this guide.
Don't let how slim this guide fool you at all. It isn't because it's lacking material, information and resources. On the contrary, it's bursting at the seams with everything a freelance writer needs to run a successful business. The key is that there's no fluff. Sure, there's a LOT of humor and personal experiences injected in just the right places. You won't find a lot of useless information just thicken the book up, though.
When I first started my business in 1999, I searched HIGH and LOW for an all-in-one reference to guide me through the process and never coule really find what I was looking for. Now, when I come across new writers in search of the same thing, I direct them to this book. And, each time they've talked to me about what they've learned from reading and USING this book, they've raved about how glad they were to have it right from the beginning.
Sharp, practical advice from an insider who knows.......2007-02-21
Want to be a freelance writer? Jenna Glatzer tells you the truth about the business in a conversational, factual, no-nonsense style sprinkled with her warm personality and humor. She lays out the writer's path and bids you to take the first steps.
After reading so many books on writing that don't deliver on the promises they make, Jenna's book is refreshingly honest and practical. If I were teaching a course on writing, I'd make sure every student had her book.
Make a Real Living as a Freelance Writer is great for novices and veterans. She surprises you with solid tips on researching and using the internet to full advantage. Her book takes the fear out of an often imposing business and reminds one that writing is compelling fun.

Jenna Glatzer has performed a valuable service in her work. Her work is insightful to what the news taking place in the media today. I enjoyed reading it. It answered several questions for me. It also brought up things that I had not thought of. I appreciate her work and what I was able to get out of it.

Book Description
This book is modeled after "Eighty-eight Assignments for Development in Place," one of CCL's most popular publications. In the years since that report was published, we have learned more about development in place--from research, from working with managers and organizations that are making use of developmental assignments, and from our colleagues in the field. We believe it is time once again to consolidate our knowledge into one tool to help leaders add developmental assignments to their own jobs and help others do the same. The tables inside this book are full of assignments. You'll also find cross-references to CCL's assessment tools: 360 by Design, Executive Dimensions, Benchmarks, Prospector, and Skillscope. If you want to target the development of specific competencies as a result of receiving feedback from any of these, the cross-references will direct you to appropriate assignments.

During 15 years as a business consultant, Mick Cope developed a structured yet flexible framework for action that he believes will benefit others likewise "employed to help solve a problem for someone else." In The Seven Cs of Consulting, he lays it out in a way that should prove useful to beginners as well as the more experienced. Everything is oriented toward gaining control of a project from beginning to end while delivering consistent results that can be comparatively measured and continually advanced. Focusing on method, not people, the book spans the entire event from "meeting the client to closing the contract and saying goodbye." Its primary themes are grouped under alliteratively dubbed and clearly defined taglines like Clarify, Create, Change, and Continue. In the Client section, for example, it addresses orientation (when "how they make sense of the world" must be assessed and processed) through contract negotiation (which, hopefully, leaves everyone "genuinely happy"). Additionally, the Confirm section (for substantiating "that what was wanted has actually been delivered"), the Close section (for ensuring "that the change finishes with style and grace"), and the others all include step-by-step recommendations that can easily be adapted to different situations. --Howard Rothman

Excellent Book of Theory..........2005-07-28
I have been freelancing in a semi-niche IT field for a few years now and am currently gearing up for launching a "proper" consulting practice to gain more commercial clients and higher profit jobs. This is the first book on consulting I purchased and I grabbed it up sort of quickly at the store based on the few pages I skimmed.
After just a few paragraphs the author gained my respect as someone who knows what they are talking about and who has clearly thought through these ideas before putting them to paper. The editor, on the other hand, should be fired. I found a typo on every page in the first chapter until I eventually had to force myself to ignore them and move on. My cover is different than the one shown here, so maybe other pressings are better.
I certainly would not consider this an A-Z guide for the business of consulting. However, it might the best book on client relationship management that I've ever seen. The author gets deep into the theories and philosophy of the customer. This is truly valuable stuff, especially in my field where working with computers all the time can start to turn everyone around you into an "application". Cope emphasizes heavily on mentality, who's thinking what, getting people thinking on the same page and more useful pieces of the psychology of dealing with people. Another thing I liked is how genre-neutral it is throughout. It is not written with the assumption that the reader is working in any specific field. The info is completely universally helpful to all.
Having said that, I took it upon myself to shelve this book for a later day after getting about 50 pages into it. Not because it's not good. It's just not what I need at the moment. I was looking for a thorough guide to the business of consulting and I found that in Alan Weiss' "Getting Started in Consulting". I will definitely return to "The Seven Cs" in the near future as it provides an edge that I haven't seen in any other book. If you are an established consultant and are looking to improve the way you work, interact and progress through your jobs then this is a great read. If you are brand new this is probably not the best primer.

Clearly stuctured in a good easy to remember mental model.Graphic,easy to read, with al least three ways to read it:/only graphis and tables,/specific tools to use the model and /the clearly explain text of theory and examples.Has good examples without distracting the reader,reinforcing the arguments.very good book.
Excellent personal distillation of the consulting process.......2002-11-08
Overview:
Cope utilizes a structured, yet customizable methodology for this book that provides an action framework for his readers. Here, he presents his viewpoint of the entire consulting process in a distilled, comprehensive model entitled "the Seven Cs framework" that he hopes will benefit readers in their consulting engagements.
The seven Cs of consulting in Cope's framework are:
1. Client: Getting it right from the start
2. Clarify: Understanding the real issues
3. Create: Developing a deliverable solution
4. Change: Working to make things happen
5. Confirm: Measuring the change
6. Continue: Making sure the solution sticks
7. Close: Signing off with style
This book provides a good overview of the field of consulting for both beginning and practiced consultants alike, as it combines theories of consulting, as well as recommendations and tips for best practices in a smooth, comprehensible manner. The client-centered nature of the book also helps reinforce the importance of prioritizing the needs of one's clients, and of nurturing the relationship between consultant and client. For example, Cope suggests that taking the perspective that a client might have about the proposed project is one way to ensure that one operates with a focus on the client. Such suggestions, if put into practice, could help change the way that a consultant sees her or his client. The framework is supposed to be adaptable to individual needs and unique situations, but always provides a focus on the best practices at each stage of the consulting project, and reminds readers that the end of one project can also mean the generation or development of a future-oriented consultant-client relationship.
Structure:
The book can be broken down into four main sections; each section consists of a set of relatively short chapters. This format presents a swift, easy read for both those who finish the book in one sitting, and those who do not have the time or inclination to do so. The brevity of each chapter also allows for easy overviews or referrals to be made, and presents a good starting point for further research into specific areas or ideas, if the reader wishes to investigate a particular topic or idea in greater depth and detail. Key questions included in the Pocket Guide are listed at the end of various sections and chapters in order to provide a succinct point that the reader can make use of in an actual consulting project.
Book Highlights:
Cope has made a brilliant attempt at making the key points of his book easily memorable. Along with using alliteration to make his points attractively memorable, as well as providing clear, useful graphs and charts, he has also included a detachable and foldable Pocket Guide at the end of the book, which lists the seven Cs, a brief description of each, and major points from the various chapters of the book. One fine example of how he makes points from this book memorable and easily comprehensible is through his comparing various types of decision-makers that one might encounter in an organization, to the key characters (King, Queen of Hearts, Knave, Joker and Ace) in a deck of cards.
Readers will also be pleased to note the smooth integration of consulting theory and practice in Cope's framework. Although the book presents a light, digestible read replete with examples of successful and unsuccessful consulting engagements, sections of the book utilize a psychology-textbook approach to portions of the consulting process. For example, he provides a summary of the benefits and detractions of various data collection methods, an overview of the crucial area of data validity, as well as recommendations for successful data analysis.
Cautionary Points:
Although this book provides an excellent synthesis of consulting theory and practice, readers should remember that it still represents the views and recommendations of a single consultant. While his examples and opinions are interesting and deftly expressed, there is not very much research support cited, as this book was not designed for academic purposes. Personally, it even seems that the citations he uses were selected because they seemed to support his theories, instead of having been included on the strength of their research validity or usefulness. This book therefore belongs more in the realm of popular psychology than of research psychology, even though it contains sections on best practices of applied research methods. Indeed, most of the book's bibliography consists of popular psychology and self-help titles. Readers should hence see this book as a general overview of one person's viewpoint and recommendations for the consulting process, and use it as a starting point for further research and investigation into topics or areas of interest.
Review of Appendix Section:
The Appendix of the book presents a practical reference guide to the consulting process. It lists in checklist format all of the key components of the Seven Cs model, providing 49 intervention elements such as "Build", and corresponding change descriptors such as "Have you identified what opportunities exist for further work?". This checklist was designed to assist consultants in asking key questions to themselves and their clients to increase the chances of planning and executing a successful consulting engagement, as well as to assist the development of productive working relationships between both parties.
Conclusion:
Cope presents a comprehensible framework of the consulting process that takes readers from the beginning to the end of consulting engagements, and includes useful examples, graphics and recommendations for best practices in the field. It is written in an easy-to-read style and format, and it combines theory and practice smoothly, hence providing a useful overview of the field and the theories that can be used to drive it. Clever inclusions of a detachable Pocket Guide and a checklist of key questions that a consultant could use for consulting projects make this book a practical tool as well. Readers should bear in mind, however, that this is the expression of one consultant's views and ideas of the consulting process, and therefore be prepared to investigate areas and ideas of personal interest at a deeper level in order to obtain more details of the idea's actual method and merit.
Highly comprehensive.......2002-03-30
Mick Cope has presented a comprehensive framework for business consulting in a coherent manner. The book contains a good mix of elegant approaches, lively analogies & practical tools. A key differentiator of 'The 7 Cs of Consulting' from other books in the market is its systematic look at the 'soft-side' of consulting, which can be easily overlooked.
Learning to Solve Other People's Problems.......2001-02-04
Highly recommended. Consultants, including those first venturing into the business of helping solve other people's problems, should definitely read this book. It is an elegant, highly practical blueprint for approaching and solving other people's problems - which is what consulting is all about. Honed by years of experience and thoughtful observation, the book provides a comprehensive guide to making your consulting engagements successful. Even as a relatively seasoned consultant, I found challenging new information and approaches in this book. And the skills will likely translate well to virtually any consulting discipline or assignment. I know they work well in mine, health care.

A Great Guide to 'What's Normal' in the Pentagon.......2007-09-04
A great book, highly recommended for anyone working in the Pentagon! I'm in my first Pentagon tour, and found this book immensely useful. My initial impression of Pentagon life was professional bewilderment: totally new vocabulary, totally new set of concerns, different rules for doing business. Much more so than with most of my 'new' jobs along the way, this one totally threw me off with with respect to the norms and expectations.
There are many courses for navigating these strange waters (most of which I've attended), but there's so much to learn that these courses are primarily focused on the "What Is It, and How Does It Work?" level. The "What's normal?" level is usually left off the end (due to time constraints), for the student to work out on his/her own. I've been blessed with very patient bosses, and have been allowed to work out 'normal' for myself, but I frequently had so many questions that I'd hesistate asking them all at once. And then came Assignment Pentagon - a life saver.
I stumbled across Assignment Pentagon about three months into the job - 2-1/2 months too late! Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down - it spoke to my nagging questions and left me a MUCH better informed Action/Requirements Officer. The turn-around in professional understanding was so profound for me that I've been recommending it to anyone else that checks in here, and think it's absolutely critical to understand the place you work in the depth that Assignment Pentagon delivers it.
Many thanks to the authors for putting this much-needed work together, and for keeping it updated. I only hope that they're still updating it when I've got my next set of orders to the Pentagon.
Some Interesting Insights.......2007-04-21
This book was first published in the 1980s, and has been apparently revised as recently as March 2007. The edition I read comes from 2002. The book is interesting. It fulfills its billing as a straight guide to what is important inside the big five-sided building along the Potomac River.
Maj Gen Smith's most interesting piece of insight comes about half way through in his discussion of the media and the Pentagon leadership. In discussing the role of the daily "Early Bird" news roundup, Gen Smith asserts that senior Pentagon leaders read the volume diligently, seeing the press not as an antagonist, but rather as a source of new and interesting takes on what they may or may not already know.
Unfortunately, Gen Smith has a bad habit of occasionally interjecting his personal opinion into his otherwise objective analysis. Also, even though the book says it was revised for 2002, it appears that many sections of the book have not been updated since its original publication 15 years earlier.
All in all, this is a solid, brief overview, of some of what goes through Pentagon employees heads on a daily basis. It is worth the read for that reason if for no other.
up to date guide to thriving within a large organization.......2002-02-26
I am the author of this book. When the new administration took office, it was time to update this book about how the Pentagon works, how to work with the Pentagon and how to work within the Pentagon. There is an enormous amount of misinformation about the Pentagon and what I have tried to do is stick to the realities and to destroy some of the myths. I have received many comments about this book. The most surprising ones have come from people who work in corporations who have told me that this book has given them lots of ideas about how improve their performance in their present jobs.

Successful models.......2007-06-10
I find it helpful to see specifically what has succeeded for others, and then use that as a model for my own endeavors. This book provides exactly that: not only successful large dollar queries, but comments pointing out the elements that helped them succeed.
This book by itself won't write your queries for you - that is still a generally thinkish process that is unique to the topic and the market you're addressing - but it is full of useful examples from how to frame a hook to how to gently nudge an editor for a timely response. Good stuff to know and use.
Review of "Query Letters that worked" by angela Hoy.......2007-04-22
The book is excellent for those who want to send query letters about ARTICLES to be published in magazines, but is lacking with respect to authors of BOOKS.
I suggest that a more restrictive title, such as "Query letters that worked for articles publishing" would prevent buyers who want to focus on publishing books from buying the subject title.
Must-have for freelancers!.......2004-03-03
Query Letters That Worked! lets you peek into the files of some of the best freelancers on the planet. You get 25 queries and proposals and six general pitch letters plus tons of good advice.
Each letter is carefully analyzed for what makes it work. You learn how the idea progressed from query to published article... what the writer did and what the editor said. You also get to peek into the writer's background to see how their credentials influenced the query.
Angela also provides her secret to finding steady freelance work, tips for phone queries, and the six golden rules of queries and submissions (and how to break them).
This book is chock full of advice on how to improve your queries -- it's a definite must-have for freelancers.
Learn from successful writers.......2004-01-16
This is a book of actual query letters that real, live writers have used to jag themselves good paying writing assignments - in fact, every letter has resulted in a job that earned $2,000 or more. It's called, funnily enough, Query Letters That Worked and it's by Angela Hoy, publisher of WritersWeekly.com.
Each of the letters includes a short bio of the writer and an analysis of the query - so you can see for yourself why each one worked. Once you know how it's done, it's a straightforward matter to write a query that indicates to busy editors that you are one of those most desirable of creatures - a writer who can make their lives easier. You'll see how to write the all-important hook that ensures your query is at least read; you'll discover how to link your article to timely topics and how to show that you are the perfect person to write this article.
The best way to learn is to learn from successful people - whatever the field, and it's interesting to note the common elements in these queries. All advise (strongly) that you study the particular magazine or paper carefully before sending anything. Nothing screams "amateur" as much as a writer who zips off a query for a 2,000 word feature on Extreme Aerobics to a magazine that targets the over-65s. (Now don't yell at me because you're over 65 and regularly engage in extreme aerobics ... you get the point I'm trying to make.)
You don't have to spend a fortune on magazines either; a few hours spent in your local library perusing a couple of issues of your target publication will give you the information you need. One useful tip is to study the ads as well as the articles, since this indicates the market of that particular publication. Why not take advantage of the squillions of research dollars the ad-men have spent?
As well as the query letters, the book also includes some general pitch letters that brought in big bikkies (up to $30,000). Then there are chapters on how to query by phone, your rights as a freelancer and Angela's secret tips for finding steady freelance work (and no, I can't tell you ... it's a secret!)
