"As a teacher and a department chair I am always searching for tools that bridge the gap between what we teach and what our students will really do after school. Mary Virginia Swanson has written a manual for how students can research, connect and really begin to act as artists and photographers in their own careers. This book is a must for the new economy, the new legal environment and the new psychology that our successful photographers will work in."

Swanson's research is thorough and extensive and includes hard-to-find, up-to-date sources, opportunities and deadlines. No student's education is complete without this crucial source material."

"Mary Virginia Swanson's book is a godsend. It's not just that it puts together all of this useful information in an easy-to-use fashion, it's also that it helps students understand how to apply that information and how important it is to be proactive, timely and professional in their approach to seeking employment, exhibitions or other photographic opportunities. We loved being able to provide it for our students."

"Mary Virginia Swanson's textbook has been a rich source of information for my students. They have used her text as a guide in navigating the transition from art school to the professional world. MVS' experiences in the commercial and the fine art worlds have given the text a depth of understanding. I recommend it wholeheartedly!!"
