Author of The Freelance Bible - Alison Grade

Alison Grade, spent 15 years working at senior level in many media companies — predominantly in international television and film production, rights management and strategy — but she also has formal academic training and is a Nesta-accredited Creative Enterprise Trainer.

Alison is also an entrepreneur who has established her own businesses and is in high demand by many creative businesses as a consultant and non-exec. She is also in demand teaching the next generation of entrepreneurs how to turn their creative passion into a career — hence the publication of her Penguin book The Freelance Bible in early 2020.

The book covers starting from day one as a freelance, helping you develop your personal brand, pick up the financial essentials, grow your client base, manage your work — life balance, negotiate deals and value your time as you become more established. The Freelance Bible is your complete guide to turning your talent into a fulfilling and sustainable career.

In this episode we discuss in detail insights, tactics and things to consider in being a successful freelancer. Alison brings important perspectives that can help new and established freelancers up their game in the competitive world of the creative industries.
