Now What? A Field Guide for Working Artists is a practical, real-world guide to the moments that shape an artist's career-the unexpected opportunities, difficult decisions, and everyday situations that rarely come with clear answers.
Instead of offering abstract theory or one-size-fits-all advice, this book is organized around the situations artists actually face: being invited to exhibit, setting prices, handling commissions, evaluating online platforms, responding to collectors, navigating gallery relationships, and more. Each section breaks down what the situation means, why it matters, what to do right away, and what to consider before making a decision.
At the core of the book is a simple idea: success as an artist is not built on a single breakthrough, but on a series of thoughtful responses to real-world moments. The goal is not to tell you what path to follow, but to help you think clearly and act with confidence when something happens-because something always does.
Drawing on decades of experience in both the art world and the publishing industry, Evan Stuart Marshall offers a grounded, practical perspective that respects the complexity of creative careers. The guidance is direct and actionable, with checklists, examples, and common mistakes to avoid, all designed to help you move forward without overthinking or second-guessing yourself.
This is not a book about becoming famous, and it is not a rigid system to follow. It is a working manual for artists who want to build a sustainable practice on their own terms-one decision at a time.
Whether you are just starting out or already exhibiting and selling your work, Now What? meets you where you are and helps you navigate what comes next.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
