Dear Angela,

After writing four features in a row for an international women’s glossy, and about to get started on my fifth, I got up the nerve to ask for more money using quotes I plucked from Melanie Bowden’s article, Always, Always, Always Ask for More Money, which appeared on WritersWeekly.com on November 17, 2004. And guess what? They said yes. Just like that.

Thanks, again, for all the advice and support and courage your website offers us freelancers.

Best,

K.
