pim: This book is life-changing. Vicki has this rare gift to fill the reader with enthusiasm and in the end making them start writing about their art with confidence. In a very nice way she directs you to what to obey and points out what is essential. Vicki covers all the artwrite-topics you will come across in your art career. If you’re just looking for copycat-stuff you probably better look somewhere else. But if you seriously want to learn how to honestly voice your beliefs as an artist this is THE only book you will ever need! Thumbs up - highly recommended!

R Oberdorf: Wow. I can't believe my fortune coming across this book. It's SO helpful. I consider myself a decent writer but I was really stumped trying to write an artist statement and bio. I'm what's called a "returning artist", ie getting back to art in retirement. I don't know what my art is about; I'm just starting to explore again. And I've always had the opinion that writing about art is futile since art is by nature word-less. But with the help of this book I have a draft for both my statement and bio that look pretty darn good to me, and most of all honest. I was able to zero in on what makes my work different, what's most important to me. I found words for the word-less!!! Now I'll go back and do the exercises presented and see how I might polish what I've written. Then I'll be contacting the author through her website for editorial review since I don't really know anyone qualified to review my writing other than my husband who's very smart but a scientist.
The book is primarily on writing the all important artist statement. It literally saved me embarrassment by clearly saying "don't do this" about at least two things I was planning to do! It keeps you focused on what's...

stephen koch: Vicki has done a wonderful job in writing this book in at least two ways. My mother was an English teacher but bless her heart, i could not grasp a thing she tried teaching me about pronouns, participles and paraphrases. I tried two different college courses in English Comp and failed both. Many years later just when the student is ready, wa-lah....Vicks' book shows up and wow...did things start to click and make all kinds of sense! It is amazing how she was able to boil all those 'ugly' little rules that helps us talk down into an easy to read format, focused directly towards the creative mind.
So, not only was she able to demystify the English language, but she was able to do it with clarity for those of us that have always had trouble grasping the finer points of writing.
And amazing as all that seems (to me at least), the way she helps the artist gain an understanding of their own work is a gift!
After completing the exercises, i believe i will not only have the ability to write about my work so that others may understand it, but i will be able to communicate better and sound more intelligent in other areas of my life as well.
Thank you Vicki

LuckyNKY: I got this book because I wanted to be able to market my creations better. I need to write blurbs about my creations for applications for juried shows and also for my online presence. What the author did for me what actually to help me focus my thinking about what I actually do, which was something I hadn't thought about. By focusing my thought, I'm actually focusing my end product, and I feel like I'm heading in a direction finally. The author gives clear step-by-step instructions on how to write about your art, plus prompts and ideas to help you get the words going. There were plenty of types of writings that seems irrelevant to what I need at this time, but what I got out of this book is so much more useful than any other type of marketing book I've read thus far. It's practical in a way that many authors just never get around to fulfilling.
