I'm happy to announce the 2008 edition of Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market (my first as Editor) went to the printer last week. Yay!!!

I had so much fun working on this book, and I can't wait to find out what you, dear reader, think of it. Of course, you won't be able to see the actual book for another month or so, which means I'll be posting some excerpts here and in my newsletter to spark your interest.

To sign up for my free monthly newsletter (planned for the first Friday of every month), go to the main AGDM Web page and enter your e-mail address in the box that appears in the upper-right corner. You can also sign up to receive e-mails when I post new blog entries. Just scroll up to the top-left of this page, where it says Click to subscribe via RSS.

Plans for the blog and newsletter include contest announcements, exhibition openings, marketing/self-promotion tips, and whatever art-related topics happen to come up. I hope you'll provide me with some feedback about what kinds of things you'd like to see. Post comments here or send me an e-mail so I can help you in your creative journey.

Best,

Erika O'Connell
Editor, Artist's & Graphic Designer's Market
