The only book you'll ever need is this video:

Mike Monteiro - F*ck you, pay me!

It was made for creative work, but is still very applicable.

A colleague of mine has written a book on this subject, sounds like it would be worth a look for you: https://leanpub.com/freelancedeveloperbook

Author here: yep, that's basically why I wrote the book - to bring a bunch of knowledge gained over the years and from various sources into one place. Will be making time to push a new 'release' of the book sometime soon, too, so all feedback is welcome.

PS - thanks for the mention, soupangel
