This is the best book for growing your art business。 Miriam walks you through all of the steps to being successful！ I have learned so much from this book and I know I will be using this as business guide for growing my business。 Also each chapter has a call to action to help you break down what you need to do。 I think is one of the best books for artists and creatives because it gives you the tools to help with positive mindset， growth， and overcoming challenges。

I've only read about 20% but I love it so far！ I'm slow at reading because of lack of time， otherwise， I would have read it at once！ I appreciate the practical and down-to-earth advice， and the relatable path of Miriam （although coming from a different background you can easily identify the same "obstacles" in your own artistic journey）。 Some books have a lot of fluff and the main ideas can be compacted in a one-page PDF。 Not this one！- Weriem I've only read about 20% but I love it so far！ I'm slow at reading because of lack of time， otherwise， I would have read it at once！ I appreciate the practical and down-to-earth advice， and the relatable path of Miriam （although coming from a different background you can easily identify the same "obstacles" in your own artistic journey）。 Some books have a lot of fluff and the main ideas can be compacted in a one-page PDF。 Not this one！- Weriem 。。。more

The myth of the starving artist-genius is dying a slow death， but "Artpreneur" gets it several steps closer to the grave。 This is a comprehensive plan any artist can use to make a great living from their art。 Even more， however， this book frees artists to expressive their creativity in the ways most authentic to them， even if （or perhaps especially if） it means they'll be the weirdo in the room。 With a combination of practical steps to take towards profitability and new ways to think about art a The myth of the starving artist-genius is dying a slow death， but "Artpreneur" gets it several steps closer to the grave。 This is a comprehensive plan any artist can use to make a great living from their art。 Even more， however， this book frees artists to expressive their creativity in the ways most authentic to them， even if （or perhaps especially if） it means they'll be the weirdo in the room。 With a combination of practical steps to take towards profitability and new ways to think about art and commerce， this feels like the permission slip so many artists need to admit they want to earn more and finally start doing it。 。。。more

Miriam has a knack for demystifying sales psychology and chipping away at the most prevalent and damaging stories affecting artists。 Her left-brained approach， explained in a way that creatives understand， allows artists to finally do what they love and also get paid for it。 It doesn't hurt that Miriam is also a gifted storyteller。 If you're an artist， you need this book。 Miriam has a knack for demystifying sales psychology and chipping away at the most prevalent and damaging stories affecting artists。 Her left-brained approach， explained in a way that creatives understand， allows artists to finally do what they love and also get paid for it。 It doesn't hurt that Miriam is also a gifted storyteller。 If you're an artist， you need this book。 。。。more

This book gave a good outline of how to succeed in an artist job。 Especially helpful is the section on how to price your art and what to include in your email newsletters。Thank you Netgalley for the ARC！

As a Writer who took the self-publishing path， I wanted to read this book because I still have a lot to learn about how I talk about my books and writing and this was a good one to read especially the outline on pricing and how to live off art。Thanks Netgalley for the eARC。
