Summer reads for freelancers, by freelancers

What’s on your summer reading list?

For your summer vacation or time on the beach, you’ll need a book. Why not read a novel by a fellow freelancer who took the indie route, either by self-publishing or working with a small press? Better yet, read a novel about topics pertaining to the freelance life!

Here are my suggestions:

We All Sleep in the Same Room, Paul Rome
