Reviews for The Artist's Guide to Selling Work

I was very impressed a while back by the companion volumes to this, aimed at craftspeople. The same detail and rigour appear in this volume, which has been updated to take account of the growing importance of the internet and of social networking websites … [T]his is an authoritative and informative guide … The advice given is practical, understandable and above all reliable, making this an essential tool for anyone seeking to make an income from their work on anything other than the most casual basis. * Art Book Review * This small book is easy to flip through to the sections of interest [...] whether you want to check up on one or two points, or want to work through the whole book, it is approachable and accessible. * Saskatchewan Craft Council *
