This week’s links are all about writing – without the writing part in it.

  • Linda Formichelli of The Renegade Writer’s blog, has calculated the numbers for freelancers working for cheap. Give it a read and decide if your current rates are too low.
  • The Blood Red Pencil has a very useful posts about selling your rights. Its been divided in two parts. Part one and two.
  • B J over at Enriched by Words is collaborating for the first time. She explores the idea of collaboration and co-writing. Both are excellent ideas that I plan on trying out sometime in the future.
