Indispensible
Full of motivation and clearity. An indispensible source for instruction on how to think about your art career, steps to take to promote your art and keep up with specific kinds of contacts. Great sample letters, formats, and advice to help demistify the business process for artists. An educational guide on elements of marketing, and support for a great buisness mentality for success.

Good for Someone Who Doesn't Know Business Basics
Basic info on resumes, letter writing, press releases and bios... mostly the same kind of thing you learn in college but with more focus on the types of people you would contact if you are an artist.

An essential Reference Guide!
This book gave me ideas and tips on writing busines letters, resumes, biographies, press releases, and everthing else that gets overlooked in my career but that is very important. The explanations are clear and helpful. I do not know how I would have gotten started without this book as my reference guide.
