Sample letters, releases, packaging and mailing guidelines, and more serve as quick references for your photo-submission needs.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This fairly comprehensive book covers basically everything one needs to know about marketing one's photographs. The first half of the book features useful sections on storage of one's work, setting up a business plan, communicating with clients, promotion, copyright, and many other critically important considerations in establishing a successful commercial enterprise. The remainder of the book deals with photo submission, including developing and presenting a portfolio, selling work, and understanding the numerous markets for photography. A substantial part of commercial photography has to do with managing and presenting one's collections of photographs to potential clients, and this book succeeds admirably in advising on both counts. The book also includes sample business forms. Written in a clear, straightforward manner, this work will be welcomed by both advanced amateur and professional photographers. Highly recommended for all libraries, especially those supporting photography and business collections.?Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, Ill.

Lacks Details,
By Brian DeWolf (Batavia, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Photographer's Market Guide to Photo Submission & Portfolio Formats (Paperback)
The subjects covered were helpful, but lacking in detail for one who is looking for expert guidance. I look for an author to get right to the point and explain things as an expert insider would guide the protege'. The author doesn't go much deeper than explaining the obvious, like advising the reader to find out if buyers prefer to review portfolois on CD's, prints, or transparencies. Many points the author makes raise questions rather than providing answers.

Overall this book gives a good overview and lots of useful information. It could use some updating to accommodate for the current market.The samples are helpful and can be modified to meet one's needs.
