In order to become successful authors, writers need behind the scene help: editing, copy editing, evaluation of manuscripts before submitting to a publisher or agent, help with revisions to fine tune the writing. With over thirty years experience, Vivian Zabel can provide such services.

Books of the Trade

I have found the Graphic Artist's Guild Handbook of Pricing and Ethical Guidelines most useful in negotiating my fees. Even when I charge much less than the "accepted standard" more times than I should, I at least know what to work myself up to with new clients.

So many tips and lists, I feared not being able to siphon through it all, so I created page tabs for the areas I wanted to be able to find quickly in the future. My favorite section? The one about which publishers accept unsolicited artist submissions and which ones don't. Make sure to get a new copy every issue for this one! I definitely did.
