Hi - I wrote the book and its focus is on client work as an individual, rather than starting a company. In future releases, my list includes adding a section on sharing work with others, which might be more relevant. If you ping an email to feedback@freelancedeveloperbook.com with stuff you'll like covered, I'll add it to my Trello board
- edanm 14y agoGreat - I've sent the email, hope it helps. Will definitely be picking up this book. By the way, I've heard the book "Design is a Job" praised on HN as a freelance Designer's guide to freelancing. I'm currently reading it. It seems your book is very similar in its goals and content, only for programmers instead of designers. If I'm right, I would definitely consider marketing it as "Design is a Job - for developers", or at least include that message somewhere on the leanpub page. I know I looked for it.
- stevejalim 14y agoEmail received and Trelloed :o) Thanks, too, for the suggestion. I've tried not to make my pitch copy on the leanpub site too SEO-ey, but I certainly get the point about helping people understand what the book may be like compared to ones they know. I'll check out "Design is a Job" when I get a moment.
- liangzan 14y agoI'd like to recommend David Maister's book http://www.amazon.com/Managing-The-Professional-Service-Firm/dp/0684834316 http://www.amazon.com/Managing-The-Professional-Service-Firm... It is similar but presents it from the angle of a company, not an individual. It focuses more on how to run a consultancy effectively.
