Networking is crucial if you want to make it in the world of freelance writing.
Even high-profile authors like Neil Gaiman and Stephen King had to build their professional networks in their early years and still regularly attend talks and conferences with similar peers like Sussana Clarke and Margaret Atwood.
You do not have to be a bestseller to benefit from networking, either.
While freelancing presents several career advantages, many need help attaining a smooth workflow and enhanced productivity for success.
However, the latest apps, devices and techniques are not the only tools freelancers can deploy to make headway — they should also maintain a clean workspace.
