Craft Business News

"One website and newsletter that I ALWAYS enjoy is James Dillehay's Craftmarketer Newsletter. His topics always include great, timely information and even if he's not talking about a craft that's specific to me, I've never received a newsletter that didn't have SOME piece of useful information."
~ Brigitte, WalkingLeaf.com/blog

"Your craft business newsletter is a gold mine of very useful information! I appreciate the time and effort you put into each issue. You have covered several things that have been a problem for us. Thank you very much."
~ Harriet in Washington State

Craft Business Newsletter: Back Issues

Since I returned to weaving full time and managing a fine crafts gallery, I have not had time to write and publish the Craft Business newsletter. However, I occasionally send out news or announcements related to selling crafts to that you may be interested in receiving. If you are interested in being or remaining on my mailing list (I never share or sell your contact information to other parties), join Craftsu.com, the free social network for buying and selling handmade crafts from where I can contact you when I share news.
