It’s all in the voice

This is a great book probably to read but a bit dull to listen to. Maybe it’s the narrator’s voice? I’d still buy it though as it has valuable information to help any budding or seasoned artist further their revenue streams.

Concise and to-the-point

The information was concise and to-the-point but I would have someone else narrate.

A good overview of things to consider

A good summary of work as an illustrator without going into unnecessary details. Was useful.

Lisa Congdon is ace...

Yes she is... And she is also very generous in sharing her wisdom and experiences in this audio book.
I'm going to listen to it one more time to make sure it has really sunk into my artist brain.
Thanks Lisa!

Disappointing

Quite uninteresting and content-less. I’ve seen reviewers calling it concise, but it just doesn’t go into depth into anything. I also feel snubbed paying for it, and then the next week it’s on the included list.
