Check out Start & Run an Art Teaching Business by my friend Tanya Freedman. She ran a successful art teaching business for several years. In her book she shares not only ideas for different types of art teaching businesses, but also entrepreneurial advice that can be so helpful for creative people who haven't thought about the business side of things.
You can find out more about the book, and read an excerpt on her web site.

Tobias Buckell's first novel is an awesome science fiction novel, full of: swash-buckling adventure, steam punk, nanotechnology, and even a star ship.
More importantly, the characters have depth, seem plausible, and captivated my interest. And they're not all white! Actually, most are shades of brown (being either Aztec or Afro-Caribbean).
The preface to this book intrigued me, but then the first thirty pages seemed to drag. I started wondering if this was really a fantasy novel, and a bad mish-mash of cultures. I kept reading, however, for the promise of the preface, and was rewarded in spades, as the steam punk kicked in, adventure kicked into gear, and explanations that made sense were provided.
I'm looking forward to reading his second book, Ragamuffin.
