Freelancers Union recommends Anti 9-to-5 Guide

Freelancers UnionThe Freelancers Union, a national nonprofit that advocates for independent professionals, weighed in on The Anti 9-to-5 Guide last week. Here’s what they had to say about the book on their blog:

“…blessedly free of the ladder-climbing ethos of Nice Girls Don’t Get the Corner Office and its ilk. The Anti 9-to-5 Guide may offer just the inspiration you need if you’re trying to overcome your trepidation about going freelance — or just the advice you need if you already have.”

That’s right, you won’t find any advice on corner office mongering here — unless of course it’s the corner office of your own company.

Bust’s LitPick in the Feb/Mar issue

Bust!How do I love Bust magazine? Let me count the ways. Those damn fine women have made The Anti 9-to-5 Guide their LitPick in the hot-off-the-presses February/March issue. Here’s a bit from the review:

Ever fantasized about life sans hellish boss and boring staff meetings? Michelle Goodman’s book can help you make the great escape. Whether you want to break into your dream industry as a freelancer or start your own business, The Anti 9-to-5 Guide is a handy desk resource for women whose ambitions run the gamut from becoming a forest ranger to starting a non-profit. Goodman makes an excellent teacher, having ditched the cube herself.

Awwww. Thanks, Bust.
