So Long, Farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, Good Night

Freelance Parent has been an incredible experience for the Berry-Brewer Freelance Agency. Lorna and I started out knowing the bare minimum of what it would take to become successful freelancers, and we were so excited to share our ups and downs as we learned how to navigate the trade. Our goal was to offer a realistic look at becoming a freelancer, and I happen to think we did that pretty well.

But all good things must come to an end, and we’ve made the decision to hand over Freelance Parent to the incredible Sparkplugging team.

It was a difficult decision for us to make. After all, Freelance Parent is kind of our baby (our award-winning and oftentimes self-serving baby), and it’s hard to say goodbye to all our readers. You guys have contributed to our success by being supportive, offering advice, and even slapping us in the face every now and then. We can only hope we’ve contributed to your success in the same way.

The good news is, we aren’t disappearing for good. The Berry-Brewer Freelance Agency is still going strong, and you’ll find us all over the web, spreading our writing net and wreaking word-savvy havoc. In fact, we both have some exciting new projects you’re invited to share.

I’ll let Lorna tell you all about hers, but from here on out, you can find me at www.TamaraMorgan.com. (My apologies: The website isn’t up just yet, but I invite you to pop every now and then to see how things are coming along.)

But what’s that you say? Tamara Morgan isn’t my name?

Oh, but it is. World, meet Tamara Morgan, Tamara Berry’s alter ego and romance novelist extraordinaire.

For those of you that remember, I threw freelancing work to the wind last November and put to paper the romance novel I’ve always wanted to write. I attempted a blog to track my progress, but life got in the way. TamaraMorgan.com will pick up where that blog left off.

It should be an exciting ride – I recently signed with an agent, and will be pursuing that ever-elusive publication deal with her in the next few months. I’m also continuing to work on my freelance writing in addition to my second novel.

So please, please feel free to visit me there or to send an email to berrybreweradmin (at) gmail (dot) com any time you have questions about freelancing (or just to pop in and say hello). We will miss everyone and hope you’ll continue to follow the new writers at Freelance Parent!
