Artists Rave About the 1st Edition

I purchased 3 different books at once for the purpose of building my business . . . and yours was unexpectedly truly the best for me even though I have moved away from gallery/ fine art venues toward small boutique and direct online sales. I was feeling overwhelmed and stuck about where to move next. I found your advice on building networks, mailing lists and marketing channels far smarter than the others.
—Joanne Gilbert

I just bought I'd Rather Be In The Studio and it's fantastic. Best art business book I've read yet (and I've read countless). You really get into the nitty gritty, and I love that you don't let us keep on making excuses! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Keep being wonderful.
—Sarah Marie Lacey

A really good book feels like a friend in your hands—it feels good and its appearance is inviting. Books convey ideas and information, just like works of art, and really really good books are works of art themselves. And that's what yours is—congratulations, and thanks for sending me such a lovely companion. In less lofty terms, it's very well designed. Inside, outside, backside, spineside! Great job!
—Richard Chapman

Last week I had my first Art Exhibition since reading your book. I planned 4 months in advance. . . . I'm happy to say it was a raging success! I made more money in those 5 days then I did the entire YEAR last year!
—Shoshanna Bauer
