Carol Topp covers a lot of great financial essentials for writers in this book. I find taxes and business essentials often very confusing, and she did a great job of making a complicated subject easy for me to understand. Thx, Carol!

Writers are an interesting audience and the target for BUSINESS TIPS AND TAXES FOR WRITERS. For the last 25+ years, I’ve been active in the publishing world as a writer, an editor, a former literary agent and currently a book publisher. I’ve learned the hard way that when you need help, you turn to an expert. For a book contract, you turn to a literary attorney–not your lawyer friend who knows nothing about publishing. It’s the same with taxes and properly running your freelance business. You need to turn to an expert–a Certified Public Accountant like Carol Topp who is also an author and has lived in the world of freelance writing.
This book is a quick read yet packed with solid advice and information for the writer. Every writer can profit from the valuable contents in these pages.
