[Dave Thompsen · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a useful book detailing how to become more visible and successful as an artist. Presented as a series of short but detailed guidance tips that covered three areas: forging positive mindset and habits (confidence, dealing with rejection), getting "artwork ready" (portfolio development, press kit), and finding and taking advantage of opportunities to gain visibility. Some of the resources mentioned are specific to artists from Great Britain, but the general principles apply to artists from any location.
