My 2nd book is finally out! It's called "How To Make A Living By Working For Free" and you can buy it here for £5 (digital) or £8 (paperback). Here's the synopsis of the book -
The book is a how-to guide for artists to create their own online community for their work and how that community can support the artist to become sustainable in every way.
The book takes a critical and in-depth look at the media's perception of "free content" vs the reality of what the general public see it as.
If you're an artist in the modern age who wants a sustainable audience you're no longer just an artist, you're a community leader.
If you'd like to read the first few chapters of the book you can find a PDF version of that here.
