in the context of the OPs question it's not really relevant as Mary is not at all a new artist. Her issue is one of what to do as an established artist in a new market.

This is why I wasn't sure what the right emoticon would be... it struck me as funny to rec that book to Mary.. I'm guessing Robin does not know Mary and where she is at in her career (no offense, it just gave me a giggle, that's all).. sort of like giving Karl Lagerfeld a book about sewing


that said, ITA with Tania.. it's totally about networking, reinventing & selling yourself, and making yourself known again and again that you exist no matter what the market is... big or small, each market is a challenge in its own way.. I have no additional advice (see my analogy above) but I always wish Mary all the best.
