Yes, I am excited about this opportunity. I just sent them a CD portfolio (I have a thread about it somewhere) with a few prints, cover letter, artist statement, etc. I sent out 5 and four have responded favorably. I struggled at first with what size company to go with (small--more attention vs. Large--more buying power). But it has really seemed to come down to personality. (All the deals were about the same.)
I will be attending as a visitor, but the publisher I am actively negotiating with said that he would like to present some of my work there and maybe I could meet with some buyers. They are interested in mostly landscapes and florals like Richard said. I hope it doesn't take too long to get some sales.
My best friend and I are leaving our small southern town and combined 5 children to enjoy 4 days in Manhatten. We are staying at the Waldorf Astoria, near all the sights and shopping so I am not sure how much time we will actually spend at the expo.
Luckily, my husband is an attorney and did a we did a little research, but haven't had any problems with the contract.
I just sent the publisher a handful of originals which should arrive on Monday. I am eager to hear what they think of the real thing.
I will keep you posted.
