Have you read this book?

Alyson Stanfield's book, I'd Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion , is the most comprehensive self-promotion advice out there for artists. And not only is it packed with information, she also shows artists of all kinds how to implement each action step. For example, I love the section on how to amplify my presence on-line. I can also attest that the book is well designed, easy to read."
