✔ Know that publishing a book will help you level-up your career but have questions about how to do that effectively?

✔ Dreaming of publishing a book about your work and you’re ready to make it happen?

You’re in the right place, and I have a free Art Book Publishing Starter Kit with your name on it.

Hiya, I'm Nancy!

I demystify the publishing process for ambitious, professional artists and teach them, step-by-step, how to create the art book of their dreams, so they can use it to level-up their careers.

In 2014, after years of working casually with artist-friends on their writing, I established The Necessarian, LLC as a business through which I provide essential editing, publishing, and consulting services to artists and arts organizations. I have a background in studio arts, gallery ownership, and arts administration, and have been advocating for artists’ voices for more than twenty years. 

Today my mission is to make the writing, editing, and publishing processes as transparent and accessible as possible for artists.
