Creative Business
Creative Business is a bimonthly newsletter that focuses on the business side of being creative. It has advice for freelancers as well as for business owners and managers, and over the course of a year manages to cover many of the most important issues involved in running your business — especially in the current economic climate.
They also offer two unique and valuable books: The Business Side of Creativity and The Creative Business Guide to Running a Graphic Design Business. The newsletter costs $149 per year, and is worth every cent.
