Free PDF downloads of two little books
There’s not much a freewheeling freelancer can do during a global pandemic, but given the volume of work-related stress I’m seeing across the web I can do this: release PDF versions of my little books How to do Freelancing and How to do Life … for FREE. Click these images to download the PDFs.
One’s a primer setting you up with the principal methods of successful freelance working, the other is my collection of tips on health, wealth, and happiness. (From someone who’s been doing the lot for 18 years.) No obligation, no paper trail. (I don’t even record your email.) So if you think they’d be useful to you – or anyone you know – click the pix above and download ’em.

100 Days, 100 Grand goes to Google
This week I’ve been in New York, in my other capacity as a freelance copywriter. Working for a special client: Google!
Google reception
I’m under NDA, so can’t talk much, except to say: the office is everything you thought it was. Fun design, playgrounds and ping-pong tables, free food everywhere. But most interesting is the building. It’s the old Port Authority Building – at the time, New York’s most expensive real estate transaction ever – and it takes up a whole city block, as you’d expect.
But more interesting than that is what the building does. As a past housing for infrastructure, it’s where a large number of transatlantic telephone cabling and optic fibre enters the USA – the building was once home to a telephone exchange. Which means, of course, Google sits atop the fastest, broadest bundle of bandwidth anywhere in the world.
New book out: How to do Healthcare
My August self-challenge was to write up my thoughts on the healthcare sector, in the same little-book format as How to do Freelancing and How to do Life. One day clear of my Aug 30 deadline, both paperback (ISBN 978-1-912795-27-7) and Kindle editions are now available for order.
Cover art for “How to do Healthcare”
The next few books in my “How to do…” series will also involve public policy rather than private victory: planned titles include How to do Welfare and How to do Schools. There’ll be a break for How to do Fitness though.
