The Business Side of Creativity: The Complete Guide for Running a Graphic Design or Communications Business Review


I’m starting a sole-proprietor (one-person) freelance design business and I have found this book to be extremely helpful. It manages to be realistic about what to expect while also providing encouragement that if you prepare well and work smart, you have the opportunity to reach your financial goals. The book has made me consider contracts carefully and has given me valuable suggestions (for example, setting up standards such as “I can’t accept jobs for which I can bill less than 8 hours’ work”), thinking about what kinds of clients I want to attract in my business, and so on. It has important points to consider if you are locating your business outside a large metropolitan area. I recommend it for anyone who is starting out – or considering starting out – on a solo creative business.
