The Business of Being an Artist, now in its sixth edition,contains information on how artists may develop a presence in the art world that leads to sales.

In addition to all of this priceless information,The Business of Being an Artist includes a unique discussion of some of the emotional issues that face artists throughout their careers, such as working alone, confronting stereotypes, handling criticisms and rejection, the glare of publicity, and the absence of attention.
