Choosing the writer’s life can bring up images of sitting at your computer writing your favorite types of copy for your preferred industry.

But being a solo professional includes many tasks beyond writing copy. You have to take care of all of the business elements that go with having the writer’s life. This includes prospecting, signing clients, delivering copy, and requesting payments.
