In <I>Confessions of a Freelance Writer</I>, Terry Morris, already retired and in her seventies, wrote her recollections of the outstanding experiences she had during her forty-year career as one of the top magazine writers in the United States. From the more than 100 articles she published in many widely circulated magazines, including <I>McCall&#8217;s, Red- book, Reader&#8217;s Digest</I>, and <I>Cosmo- politan</I>, she selects outstanding examples and describes her methods of obtaining the stories, how she sold them, and their aftermath. <P>She characterizes herself as a &#8220;garbage pail&#8221;&#8212; someone who picks up ideas and leads from throwaway lines others have discarded and builds them into personal-interest stories about all types of ordinary people in extreme situations.</P> <P>She also discusses how she established relationships with key figures in publishing in order to see her stories in print. </P> <P>This book should be of interest not only to the average reader but to aspiring authors in a large mass market. </P>
