No matter who they are, I envision a nice, air-conditioned office, a telephone answering service, regular working hours, and a professional wardrobe that puts me to shame. Working from home is still new enough to me (and seemingly incredible from [...]

Work is progressing on that front, and we’ll hopefully soon be able to share our new logo and the facelift our website has received. We’re [...]

Before Tamara and I started the Berry-Brewer Freelance Agency, we both worked for the same company. She was a full-time employee, and I was a contracted freelance writer. For a short time, in fact, she was my supervisor. I wonder if she’s ever sorry that part’s over.

As we’ve mentioned previously, things have been going really well for us since the beginning of the year. New jobs are coming in, and we’re figuring out what kind of division of labor is going to work the best for us. There are ups and downs, of course, but I think the “downs” make the [...]
