Andy Strote, Author of How to Become a Successful Creative Freelancer, and How to Start a Successful Creative Agency I have been an agency copywriter, freelancer, and founder of two successful creative agencies in Toronto. As a freelance writer, I got so busy that after a few years, I decided to start an agency. I found a design partner and we opened our agency with our freelance clients. We grew from two to about thirty, and within five years, our agency was acquired by an IT company. Shortly thereafter, I started my second agency. With a partner, we grew from two to over thirty. I retired from that agency, selling my shares to my partners. The agency is still successful today. Through all of this, I learned the nitty-gritty of running a creative business. These books were written to help creators succeed. Many creators are excellent at their creative output but need help running their businesses. That's what you'll learn in these books. They're both highly practical with tips you can implement today. Not only "what to do", but also "how to do it". There's never been a better time to launch your creative business. These books will help you every step of the way.
