5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, August 31, 2007
This review is from: Licensing Art 101, Third Edition Updated: Publishing and Licensing Your Artwork for Profit (Paperback)
This is truly a superb book in every way. Not only is it comprehensive in terms of the steps one needs to take to market their art, but there's also a list of questions at the end of each chapter to help you develop an action plan, for which there's an empty column to write down your tasks.

Personally, I respond very well to "to do" lists and deadlines, so using this book in combination of working with a life coach is bringing wonderful results.

The book also tackles the publishing issue from two sides: one is finding someone to represent you (which is my preference), and the other is how to publish yourself. (I did the independent route in music, and believe me, it's rough. This time around, I'm willing to pay someone in percentages to do it for me and just let me make the art.)

I give it a big thumbs-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars This basic introduction is thoroughly 'user friendly', October 6, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Licensing Art 101, Third Edition Updated: Publishing and Licensing Your Artwork for Profit (Paperback)
Now in a newly updated and expanded third edition, "Licensing Art 101: Publishing And Licensing Your Artwork For Profit" takes up where most art classes leave off -- how to make a living as an artist. Drawing upon his more than 31 years of experience and expertise in the licensing industry, Michael Woodward clearly covers such fundamental issues for aspiring artists as how to negotiate fees for their services, how to approach various markets with their artworks, targeting a presentation, exhibiting in trade shows, and protecting their rights as artists. "Licensing Art 101" is enhanced with some 300 contacts including calendar publishers, art licensing agents, greeting card publishers, fin are publishers, and book publishers. Taking a comprehensive, step-by-step, real-world approach to the subject of licensing art, this basic introduction is thoroughly 'user friendly' and should be considered essential, mandatory reading for anyone seeking to pursue a professional career as an artist regardless of the medium in which they work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE for all types of artists, June 28, 2008
By JOSEPHINE (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Licensing Art 101, Third Edition Updated: Publishing and Licensing Your Artwork for Profit (Paperback)
I am not a fine artist, I am more of a commercial artist/illustrator/surface pattern designer. When I got this book, I couldn't put it down! It has extremely helpful information in it for all types of artists who are wanting to license their artwork in a variety of markets. It is a fast read too, packed full of great advice and resources. It's a book I will keep going back to because it's a good reference manual. If you are thinking of entering into the licensing world, I would HIGHLY recommend that you get this book - it's a MUST, especially for the price!
