A great resource book for artists:
I recently checked out a new book at the library called The Artists Guide to Grant Writing, written by Gigi Rosenberg. This book is a wonderful resource for any visual, literary, or performing artist who is thinking of applying for grants. The book is well written in an easy to read step by step approach with a number of her personal experience stories. Gigi Rosenberg is American and not Canadian so many of her references to grant sources may not apply to Canadians, but none the less the book is chock full of hands on advice for getting through the grant writing process. Even for those who think that grants are not for them and out of their reach, this book could certainly inspire some people with serious reservations about the process and chances for success to consider applying for a grant in their field. I also really liked the fact that the author included money making ventures that are alternatives to grants, such as fundraising for your own project. I have borrowed my current copy from my local library, but this book is so full of useful links and resources I am going to order a copy. Gigi Rosenberg has a website with all of her latest insights visit, www.gigirosendberg.com
