My books
A 10-year journey took freelance blogger, copywriter and editor Paul from Brighton beach to Baku, Azerbaijan, where he worked as a sub-editor. Pazzabaijan is his story and offers practical tips for your career and/or business.
Think about thinking. Life’s easier when you understand how to deal with that little voice in your head that tells you you’re no good, or that what you’re doing is pointless. There’s a good reason for that voice. This book explains it.
Want to use the internet to promote your services as a freelancer, or sell your own products or someone else’s for a commission? This book’s clear, practical knowledge from an accomplished professional is for you.
Wow! This book [Working Remotely] could hardly be more appropriately timed. Filled to the brim with tips and expertise, written in a really compelling way.
The author (Paul Parry) combines original thought (gained through evident years of hard work) with a collection of expert resources all in one place.
