I have an MFA, and a BFA, and have read about every book on this subject matter. I found this reference to be about the most extensive and current resource yet for the entering mid career artist.
The examples cover what has changed as a result of technology and the internet. The best feature is that the pages contains sidebars with interviews/comments and advice from well known experts in the field. In this regard reading this book was like paying $20 for the benefit of a several day long conference with the very best speakers.
*This would be my text for a professional practices course for BFA or MFA students.

This book is a great resource for graduating students and working artists alike. It is an excellent primer to navigating how to handle yourself professionally in the art world if you are unfamiliar, and the book is also deep enough that I think even working professionals can gleam tips and extra knowledge . Insight comes not only from the two authors, but also from many working artists, gallerists, curator's, etc... as they share their knowledge as it relates to each chapter. Having so many opinions expressed really shows you the multiple paths you can take and also often unsaid rules people must navigate to become a working artist. An excellent Title!

I was browsing one day at a book store and came across this gem. If you're starting out as an independent artist, this is a Godsend. I could not put it down after I started reading. This would've helped me tremendously when I left art school years ago, but alas, it's never too late!! Follow your passion!

Again, this is a must-read if you're a fresh artist, and on top of that, the price is excellent!! You can't lose!!

This is a fantastic, comprehensive resource for anyone wondering how the heck they can actually BE a working artist. This book helps anyone who is creative navigate a world with taxes, copyrights, landlords and other financial, legal, and detail-oriented obstacles. Thank you for writing it!
