The Calligrapher’s Business Handbook

$9.99

Amazon bestseller in “Business of Art” category, 2017

A guide to best business practices and pricing strategies for calligraphers and lettering artists.

I wrote this book to answer the questions I hear most from calligraphers and lettering artists trying to turn their skills into a business—questions about pricing, contracts, copyright, licensing, and how to find clients.

Whether you’re just starting out as a creative freelancer, transitioning from another career, or looking to grow an existing lettering business, this handbook covers the business fundamentals that most calligraphy resources skip: how to set fair rates, when to charge flat versus hourly, how copyrights really work, what to include in a project contract, how to handle licensing and usage rights, and how to market yourself on a budget.
