Be A Professional Joiner
The beginning of a New Year also seems like a great time to consider joining a professional organization. A quick Google search will show there are many different professional organizations out there looking for new members for artists, crafters, illustrators, licensing artists, and this list is just a tip of the iceberg. These groups can be local, regional, state, national, or international.
The benefits of becoming a member of a professional organization are numerous, including networking with peers, a wealth of resources and information, professional publications, staying on trend, education and classes, and speaking events. Like any career, staying relevant and connected to like-minded professionals is crucial.
So on that note, I became a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). I have kept an eye on this organization for awhile now, and in keeping with my goal of organizing and ultimately growing my business this 2016, there wasn’t a better time to join.

Organizing My New Year!
The start of the New Year is the perfect time to reorganize. Start fresh, from the small projects, like the junk drawer in my kitchen to the not-so-small closets to organizing my art business.
I started 2016 by revisiting my business plan, researching the market, deciding on the areas I want my business to move and grow in, creating a marketing and advertising plan, and deciding what worked in the past and what areas need improvement or a change.
What are you going to organize to start 2016?
