From Jacci Howard Bear, your Guide to Desktop Publishing
Lately I've been getting out of the house to work. I have my truck set up as a mobile office and I take advantage of local Wi-Fi hotspots. I'm writing this newsletter at the library. Nearby are a couple of guys talking about education, jobs (or the lack of them), and about working for themselves (one of them is self-employed). Are you doing freelance work or thinking about it? Today's spotlight articles are for you.

When a Client Thinks Your Work is Bad
Nobody likes criticism although we do often appreciate constructive critiques. But client complaints about our work are not usually delivered in a wholly constructive manner. And sometimes, despite "The customer is always right" advice, the customer can be wrong. How do you handle it?

How to Write a Contract
Some potential disputes with clients can be averted if you have a good contract.

How Not to Get Paid
If you work for free because you want to do so, that's fine. But if you're in business to make money, avoid these pitfalls.

Start a Desktop Publishing Business
If you aren't currently in business for yourself but are considering taking the plunge, find out what it takes to get started.
