Anyone who has freelanced for more than two minutes has lost an anchor client. And even though I’ve been freelancing for many years, each time it happens, it still jolts me. Thankfully, I have been diligent about distributing my eggs across multiple baskets, and each client makes up less than 10 percent of my income. But it’s still a loss that needs to be replaced. Many writers lose their anchor clients in January (the start of the calendar year) and also this time of year, in June/July time (the beginning/end of fiscal year for many companies). So if this has happened to you, you’re not alone.

The WRITER
We live in exciting times as writers. Gone are the days when the only feasible way to get your book into the hands of readers was to have it published through a traditional publisher. Now, with the rise of technology, online bookstores, digital books, print on demand and audio books, authors have another option. Self-publishing empowers writers to take control of their work and manage how it is released into the world. But before taking the step toward self-publishing, it is important to understand more about the industry and the reality of venturing off on your own.

For some, freelancing represents a means to make a little extra cash on the side doing something they enjoy or excel at. For others, the ability to fully transition to a life of freelance work means the recognition of a life-long goal driven by passion and skill. If you fall into one of those categories, navigating your new-found income and its relationship with your taxes, personal finances, and ultimately credit can seem complicated.

Journalists in modern newsrooms risk succumbing to “anxiety and exhaustion” because of the need to monitor the “seemingly endless sources of potential sources” now available to them.
