Kristine Kathryn Rusch has published extensively about the business of writing, with twenty-four non-fiction titles spanning from 1991 to 2020. Drawing on her experience as both an author and a former magazine editor, she covers topics that working writers deal with daily: contracts, branding, productivity, and the changing publishing landscape.
The Freelancer’s Survival Guide is her most comprehensive work on the subject, while individual volumes like Discoverability and Closing the Deal focus on specific aspects of the writing career. These books are written for practicing writers rather than aspiring ones, with an emphasis on making a living from creative work.
