I’m Ready… now what?

MindMap for planning submissions and marketingIt was a lovely event last night at Exposure Saratoga. I was told to give a 15-20 minute presentation, so I came up with The “Other” Art: Submissions and Marketing for Photographers. It went a bit longer since we had such great questions. Besides, with wine and snacks no one really wanted to leave anyway!

A few folks asked about the resources I mentioned, so thought it would be helpful to have them posted here for reference (in no particular order). If you would like to share a few of your favorites, please do so by making a comment on my Facebook page.
