Presenting Master Your Craft: Strategies for Designing, Making, and Selling Artisan Work!!

After almost four long years…I am pleased to present my freshly published book, Master Your Craft: Strategies for Designing, Making, and Selling Artisan Work:

Master Your Craft: Strategies for Designing, Making, and Selling Artisan Work
Master Your Craft

Schiffer sent a congratulatory bottle of wine in the same package:

celebratory wine from Schiffer Publishing
celebratory wine from Schiffer Publishing

and a congratulatory letter:

congratulatory letter from Pete Schiffer
congratulatory letter from Pete Schiffer

The last line of the letter invites me to work with Schiffer on future projects. I may well do that…but for now, I’m just going to savor this one.

Four years of work, finally come to fruition.

    Congratulations! Glad the hard work of writing is done – now you get to be a marketoon! (In my experience, that may be even more difficult than writing – it was for me back in my high tech days.
