"A practical tool that will help you turn your creative inkling into a career."
--Andrea Kay, syndicated columnist and author of Life's a Bitch and Then You Change Careers
“Creative Careers is an outstanding resource for up-and-coming young artists and their families. As we move into a new, creative economy the information on these pages thoroughly debunks the old stereotype of the starving artist. Opportunities abound like never before and employers are in hot pursuit of the best and brightest creative talent. The profiles of real artists on the job included in this book are particularly interesting and add an important real world component to the information. This is a “must-have” for any library, career resource center or prospective art student.”
--Sue Hinkin, Dean of Career Services, Savannah College of Art and Design
“This book is a unique resource for artists in all disciplines, as it provides valuable insight into creative careers via real-life professional profiles.”
--Elisa Seeherman, Director of Career Services, The University of the Arts
"Elaina Loveland's book is a valuable resource for those aspiring to a career in Arts and Letters. It's chock full of real-world advice from people who have been there and done that. Not only would it make a perfect graduation gift, it's the quintessential remedy for those stuck in jobs that pay the bills but make it a chore to get out of bed every Monday morning."
