I recently published my first book Breaking Into Freelance Illustration: the guide for artists, designers and illustrators published through How Books/ F+W Media.
Breaking into Freelance Illustration provides a step-by-step road-map for illustrators looking to promote themselves and running a creative business. Written from the perspective of an experienced freelancer with plenty of industry insiders insight added, this helpful guide gives readers everything they need to start a full-time business, see their work published, or moonlight as an illustrator. This book is a down to earth guide that fills in the creative business blanks.

All in all, it's an easily digestible book on the business of art that's great for artists who have an aversion to business books. "- Kathy Weller, illustrator Read Less
