I look forward to your posts and have found them immensely helpful and encouraging - can't wait for your book! Thnaks for the above re using contrcats also - I wonder if you would share the contracts you use? Obviously just the general outlines and not specifics - but it woudl be really helpful to have a template that a successful artist / business is using. Thanks again, Best regards, Ginny Hi Maria,
