What are advantages of being a freelance writer?

A freelance writer is self-employed. Self-employment means the freelancer is personally responsible for finding clients, getting work, submitting documents and collecting payments. One advantage of freelance is that the writer has flexibility in scheduling and work. A freelance writer isn’t bound to a traditional 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. workday. Some people also prefer the diversity of writing projects in freelance work to writing similar types of items for a single employer. Freelancers also have the ability to set their own rates for projects. Freelance writers have mobility, in that they can work anywhere and electronically send their articles to clients.
