Julie Anne Eason is a best-selling author, speaker, and CEO of Thanet House Publishing. She started her professional writing career more than 25 years ago covering school board meetings for the local newspaper and then moved into sales and copywriting for companies of all sizes. She struggled to overcome the typical freelance feast-or-famine cycle of low-paying jobs and eventually rose to join the top 1% of writers in the US. The struggles and challenges she overcame throughout her career prompted her to write her most recent book, The Work At Home Success Guide: How to Make More Money With Freelance, Telecommuting, and Remote Working Jobs. |
