General small-business advice just doesn't work for a graphic design business. What graphic designers need is The Graphic Design Business Book, packed with directly relevant strategies for creating a business plan, managing a studio, presenting portfolios, marketing on the Web, keeping clients happy, and more, including sample contract forms and listings of professional organizations—all contributed by experts in their fields. Every graphic designer needs a copy of The Graphic Design Business Book.
My new novel, A Woman in the Wild, has just been published by Arcade Publishing (distributed by Simon & Schuster). The novel tells of Thea, a psychologist in crisis who leaves her established practice in the city for an open-ended retreat in the mountains at the Institute for Healing and Transformation. Feeling lost, betrayed, and stricken by guilt not to have saved her daughter from sexual abuse, she hopes to find a new path to ease her pain and uncertainties. Soon after her arrival, a “wild” man who roamed the forest with a bear is brought to the institute. When the man is given to her care, she performs a suspenseful balancing as she seeks to heal him as well as herself. Hiking and meditating each day, she initiates an inner journey that shakes her free from the familiar. As the months pass, she engages her guilt and sorrow, confronts her failures, weighs the limits of therapy and self-forgiveness, and seeks to unleash the healing powers of the unconscious and of love.
I'm happy to do book clubs and library talks about the novel.
A great source of assurance and information on the graphic design business for young plebeians like me. It's entertaining (in a wry way) and useful to keep around as a guide in dealing with sticky situations.
