ARTIST MANAGEMENT MANUAL
The Definitive Resource For Artist Managers and Self Managed Artists

The role of artist managers will become increasingly important as the industry landscape becomes more complex by virtue of decreasing CD sales and increasing ancillary income opportunities in other fields; including third-party licensing, merchandising, sponsorships, endorsements, national and international touring, international licensing, international sub-publishing, paid digital downloads, creative regional and national distribution, and more. This definitive resource offers guidelines on how to position artists for success in the ever-changing music industry landscape. *NOW AVAILABLE FOR $45.00*
