Business Tips
for photographers & writers

Keeping creative & running a business sometimes seem completely at odds with one another, which is why I wrote this page.

The Writers Handbook (Macmillan) £20.00 - this is very useful for getting an idea of the media market in Europe, USA, and the Commonwealth, as it contains a list of TV companies, publishers etc.

The Freelance Photographers Handbook (BFP) £12.00 - very similar to the above book but concentrates on the photography market in Britain.

Small Business Guide by Sara Williams £12.00 - an essential book for business. Cheap and detailed enough without overdoing it.
Working for Yourself - how to succeed at being your own boss - by Roz Morris £8.00 - gives you a good idea on the psychology of running a company and how to prepare for the strains!
