March 12, 2000Soloing: Realizing Your Life’s Ambitions
By Harriet Rubin, 1999, HarperCollins, ISBN: 0-06-662014-7
This book was written by a former editor and publisher at Doubleday, who left the corporate world to pursue a more creative lifestyle. Currently she is writing, speaking and consulting, and loving every minute of it. This book is for people who are eager to stretch their wings and develop work to suit themselves. It is perfect for people who are trying to make it on their own, and haven’t yet found a good support group. Rubin describes how soloing is different from freelancing – it’s weaving your work (and perhaps different kinds of work) into your life, and using work to pursue your dreams. In addition to practical suggestions, there are plenty of encouraging stories to help readers at every step of this sometimes-scary creative path.
