Higher education has changed-and we have to change with it. The Freelance Academic will show you how.

When Katie Pryal started her career in higher education, she did everything right-she thought.

With a law degree, a doctorate, and a federal clerkship, how could her career go off track?

But this is higher education in the new millennium. "Off track" is the new normal. So, slowly, she made her own career.

In The Freelance Academic, she tells her story and provides an accurate (and sometimes blistering) critique of how higher education has pushed its workforce to the margins and sacrificed student learning.

Best of all, she gives plain, practical advice for how to make the career you want, one that uses your strengths, and your creativity, to thrive, including:

• How to create a sustainable freelance career or side-gig
• How to create a professional network that sustains you
• How to start writing for popular magazines

With The Freelance Academic as both a guidebook and a launch pad, you can reclaim your career for yourself.
