The

Secrets

We have been working hard for the last year to create guides and templates to help creatives and Independent artists match the level of service and professionalism clients receive from larger businesses and galleries. All of our templates are currently in use in the industry and are created by experts who have used them and refined them through thousands of clients and collaborations. All of our guides are written by professionals who have been working in the industry for more than ten years.

Guides and Templates

We are adding to the guides and templates almost monthly, as we are asked for different things by different artists that need our help. Whilst we share parts of these on our substack, many of the full guides are available for instant download and includes templates and checklists you can work through in your own time. All of these guides are used with our in-person clients and are updated regularly as things change out in the world.

Our Most Popular Guides:-

  • Invoices - how to design them and how to protect yourself with terms.

  • Gallery - How to find, approach and verify the right gallery for you.

  • Commissions - How to record, charge and manage a commission.

Advice and community

All of our complimentary guides are shared on Substack, where you receive weekly releases of tips and tricks to get where you want to be. We are using this service not only as we are not charged per email we send, which enables us to keep sharing complimentary guides, but also so that we can form a community. Simply select ‘no pledge’ or if you feel like supporting us you can pick a paid subscription, which also gives you access to our most popular paid guide on galleries.

We would love it if you joined and we know it can be annoying to sign up but when you subscribe with no pledge you receive our ‘Artist Checklist For Commercial Readiness’ in the welcome email to thank you for doing the admin. This is the checklist we use with new in-person clients as a way to focus on their next steps - it works if you are starting out or doing a mid-career refresh.
