Don’t Be A Starving Artist by Wyland

https://www.wyland.com/product/dont-be-a-starving-artist-by-wyland/

I have been recommending this one for years and with good reason. Short, zero fluff, and given Wyland is a top 5 best selling artists in the United States for a number of years running now he has some credibility.

I went to Amazon to find this. Have you seen how many different books there are with advice on how not to be a starving artist?

Given the author this one is I would argue is likely quite a bit better than most.
