Freelance Writing Tip #11: Categorize Professional Advice

Even though you’re smart enough to tell good advice from bad—professional advice can work against you if you’re inexperienced. Professionals are providing invaluable insight based on their experiences spanning a great number of years and publications.

Remember that professionals’ experiences are as widely varied as your own; so the best thing to do is to be respectful, listen, and have fun learning about their writing.
