"The illustration market has changed drastically over the last decade. It is now more important than ever for an illustrator to be an entrepeneur. This involves marketing to the widest possible number of potential buyers. It also means initiating, rather than simply waiting for projects to come. Licensing fits the bill on both of these. Tara Reed's books contain a wealth of information, much of which can only be gotten by the doing and she has done it. Licensing may not be for everyone, but her books give a fuller picture of this sometimes mysterious, but potentially lucrative, market."

"I have enjoyed learning from you VERY much. More than anything, your sharing of information via blog, teleseminars, emails, etc has given me permission to try. Just want you to know that your generosity does spawn action! The only thing holding me back at this stage is I need to stop spending my “clock money” (aka time) on the computer and literally sit down, paint and develop some collections. Wish me luck and thanks again!"

"I forwarded Tara Reed's terrific newsletter to a few artist friends that are on the fence about licensing. I wanted them to register and start receiving it too! I want them to see that licensing is not an overwhelming, murky undertaking and I feel like Tara's eBooks really whisk the fog away!"

"As an illustrator with years of experience, I thought it would be easy to jump into licensing my artwork. But as I tried to learn about the industry I found there were no good resources. Then I found Tara Reed's website and learned about her great eBooks. Since then I have gotten all of them and feel like the cloud of mystery has been lifted.
I am so happy I found them. The 'Cliffs Notes' to art licensing. I highly recommend them."

"Your web site is an incredible resource for learning about the complex world of licensing. After reading through your web site, listening to interviews, and following you on Twitter, I've gone from feeling intimidated about the business to feeling empowered and ready to take my art where I want it to go. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!"

Tara’s books are a must-read for any artist interested in making a living with their artwork. Tara’s combination of professional knowledge and personal experience result in easy to read ebooks that are full of valuable information. I was able to apply the information she shared in the books immediately. Thanks to Tara, I don’t have to spend my time figuring out how licensing works.
