Aloha Robert,
I love your book!!. If I had written
a book like this I would be helping artists reach their highest level. It
is simply the best art sales manual I have ever read. It is a bible
for me now. I am a moderately successful artist in Kauai. I make over
$150,000.00 a year. My sales were really down due to a bump in the road.
and a bad attitude. The first day I perused your book I sold $1400.00 the
second day $1200.00 and the third day $1440.00 at an outdoor show. Thank
you so much.

Just wanted you to know that I've bought and read your book
and thought it was fabulous! You have so much specific information in there
that it
goes beyond helpful. You told me things I didn't even know I didn't know!
Thanks so much for making the effort, and I hope it is tremendously successful
for you.

What a blessing you are for those of us who aren't living in New York
City, where information seems to be more available (I lived there for 16
years, thank goodness. Just for the record, I want you to know that since
I ordered your book (at Barnes and Noble), I see that they now carry them
regularly!
I've been a children's book illustrator for 25 years, making enough money
doing educational work to support myself while I do trade books ...Anyway,
I've been trying to educate myself about other markets, and have been learning
about the surface design arena, which is very tied into licensing... I just
want to thank you for your books, this class and your efforts to reach out
to artists about an important aspect of the publishing world. You are helping
people like me gain access to important knowledge and tools to be better
business people, and more effective bread-winners! Thank you for
your tremendous service to all of us.
Sincerely, Roberta Collier-Morales

BRAVO... Art Licensing 101 by Michael Woodward is
without a
doubt the most comprehensive and entertaining "how to" book I
have had the opportunity to read. Well thought out...well written and well
organized... full of actual useful information that is easy to comprehend
and apply in the Art Licensing Markets. Not only does the book contain information
about the business, but it takes the "How To" genre to new heights
with actual "contacts" within the business. I have recommended
the book to every artist (or would be artist) I know. Congratulations and
thank you.

Michael Woodward's 'The Licensing Course' is an eye opener for the
working artist who has a desire to license their art. Michael's vast experience
in the world of art licensing shines through in every page of the course.
If you apply only half of what the course has to offer, the door to the
art licensing world will open wide your artistic endeavors.

The Licensing Course is real eye opener for today's artist. No matter
how far along in your career you are, The Licensing Course has everything
to start or improve an already existing business system. It is the best,
most complete, easy to understand, art business manual available for the
visual artist today.

well presented. If you are serious about becoming a professional artist
The Licensing Course is definitely a good investment.

After completing the course I feel more confident and prepared to
enter into the complex licensing field. The Course book has now become one

Art Licensing 101 by Michael Woodward has been the most helpful
book since I began this journey. It is a well-written layout of all the
important aspects of the licensing industry. The book allows beginners to
understand the do's and don'ts, the legalities, the fee structures, the
importance of copyright, and more. I found it especially helpful that he
included so many wonderful contacts and resources in the book. They have
led to many answered questions and much helpful advice. I highly recommend
this book to anyone who is beginning the process of licensing art.

For artists seriously thinking of licensing their artwork, Art
Licensing 101 is the book to get. It is a comprehensive, easy to read,
no nonsense guide that is packed with practical tips and advice. This book
really helped boost my confidence level when dealing with potential licensees.
After 25 years in the business, Michael Woodward knows his stuff. He literally
takes you by the hand and shows you how the whole process works! Michael,
thank you for sharing your invaluable knowledge with me and the countless
artists out there struggling to "make it"!
