The only South African book that covers exactly what new freelancers need to know!
This book contains practical advice that is especially relevant to the South African context. It will save you so many hours, days, even weeks of research, trying to find information and frustration. With a framework like this, it’s much easier to really dig into the sections you want to, because you understand where it all fits in with the overall picture. This is not a story about someone who had rich parents and inherited fifty gazillion dollars and is now some “guru”. This is an action-adventure in which Shea takes you on a journey through her freelancing experience. Along the way, you learn valuable lessons to apply in your own business, whether it be full-time or part-time, it doesn’t matter.
I started reading and for the next few days, this book was glued to my side. Literally. It came with me to the bathroom in the mornings as I brushed my teeth. I read it at breakfast and then picked it up again at lunch. I kept it on my desk to read it again after work. The chapters are pretty short so I was able to complete them without my short attention span getting in the way. It’s been a while since I enjoyed a book this much- especially a non-fiction one. Once it was done, I had that feeling of accomplishment that comes with finishing a book and surprisingly, I don’t have any questions about freelancing. If you’re interested in freelancing and have no clue where to start, this is the book for you. You’re definitely going to walk away having learnt something.
“Your book is totally up my alley, and the topic is SO relevant right now. Your quality of writing is excellent, and I like the way you’ve laid the chapter out with a short summary at the end..”
“I have no doubt your book will fill an important gap in the market.“
I’m about halfway through it (the chapter about finding clients) and it’s fantastic! I know a lot of the stuff already, but it’s been an excellent refresher with great new insights. For example, I need to relook at my rates to build in vacation days, which I haven’t done before.

I’m a freelance writer based in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands whose boss gave me permission to write this book. After side-hustling for my entire working life, I decided to take the plunge into full-lancing six years ago and have never looked back. I’m always learning (often the hard way) about ways to improve my services, hone my skills and grow my freelance business. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Rhodes University, have written around 250 000 000 words in the past 10 years and don’t plan to slow down anytime soon. I love waking up every day, being my own boss, and wearing activewear exclusively.
Want me to add a personal howzit or a special message for a loved one? Happy to do so! I’ll even sell you the book at a discount price… but I will have to charge an extra R50 for shipping, via Pudo.
