Disclosures

Even though I make an average of well over $50 per hour for writing supplements and ancillaries, there is no guarantee that you will make that much. It depends on your negotiating skills with editors, and also how fast you can get quality work done.

And there is no guarantee you will even be offered work.That depends on your education, writing experience and skills, and your ability to market yourself to editors.

Finally, both of the testimonials on this page are from people who were given review copies of the e-book.
