A Robert Bly Ground-Breaker:
Robert Bly is one of the foremost experts in the B2B market, and I had the good fortune to study some of his material, under a course given by Steve Slaunwhite. This book, along with Six -Figure Freelancing by Kelly James-Enger, inspired me go plunge into the freelance writing world. Robert covers all the various categories: books, magazine articles, etc. If you want specific advice, then I highly recommend this book.
