Calling all Valley illustrators, photographers, graphic designers, animators, architects (and other hipster-creatives)! Looking for a fun, relevant read?

We are loving these practical, accessible “how-to” books by pro crafter Meg Mateo Ilasco. Named “the hipster business primer,” Craft, Inc. is a step-by-step guide to entrepreneurial, craft-related business planning.

Looking for a more narrow, industry-specific perspective? Try the spunky sequel to Craft, Inc. It’s called Creative, Inc. Co-written by Joy Deangdeelert Cho, this guide teaches creative folks how to compile impressive portfolios, pitch thorough business plans, navigate the legal issues of starting businesses and make good money!

Strike out on your own, Valley creatives! And, pick up one (or both) of these books at Pink Olive.
