Description of Your Book
You did everything right. So why does work still feel wrong?
In The Forever Freelancer, multi-seven-figure freelancer and former journalist Satta Sarmah Hightower offers a practical roadmap for women ready to build careers on their own terms. Written for millennial and Gen X women, parents, and caregivers, the book demystifies the transition into freelance, fractional, and portfolio work.
Drawing on expert interviews, extensive research, and 12 years of full-time freelancing after back-to-back layoffs, Sarmah Hightower shows how to build a sustainable solo creative business without burning out. Readers will learn how to transition intentionally, create flexibility without sacrificing income or ambition, strengthen their financial resilience, and replace the myth of work-life balance with something more realistic: work-life integration.
The Forever Freelancer is not a girlboss manifesto or an ode to hustle culture. It’s a clear-eyed guide to building a boutique creative business designed for your life.
Do you have a book event or announcement to share?
I’m excited to share the publication of my first book, The Forever Freelancer: How to Build a Thriving Solo Creative Business — and Unlock Family and Financial Freedom.
After spending the last 12 years as a full-time freelancer and building a multi-seven-figure solo business following back-to-back layoffs, I wanted to write the book I wish I’d had when I started.
The Forever Freelancer is a practical guide for women who want to build a sustainable freelance business. Drawing on expert interviews, extensive research, and lessons from my own journey, the book offers a roadmap for creating a profitable business of one, without buying into hustle culture or the myth that bigger is always better.
Whether someone is making a career pivot or wants to build a resilient solo business, my hope is that The Forever Freelancer empowers them to create a career that better fits their lives.
