a LIVE workshop for the artist who wants a direct path to success…
Discover the most powerful ways to distinguish yourself and your artwork from the mainstream…and the most devastating pitfalls to avoid.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could see down the road, just enough to know you’re headed in the right direction?
You know that publishing a monograph can make a huge difference in your career and your studio practice by increasing your visibility and credibility.
You watch as other artists use their monographs to get the galleries, the shows, and the sales when your artwork is just as good, or better.
You’re starting to worry that others can sense your desperation.
Instead of quietly quitting and telling yourself “someday…,” what if you could make real progress on your monograph right now?
IT’S TIME TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP.

Does this sound like you?
✔️ You’re a visual artist at a point in your career that might be the right time to publish your monograph (and if not now, when?)
✔️ Now is the right time to publish but you're not sure how to get started or what to expect, and you already feel overwhelmed.
✔️ You’ve already published a monograph or other book but were disappointed with the results, so you’re hesitant to try again.
✔️ You’re tired of the limited reach of exhibitions and the grind of social media, and you want to create something that lasts.
✔️ You’re willing to spend two hours and $49 working toward a life-changing result.
You’re in the right place!
You’re about to learn my tried-and-true strategies so you can plan, step by step, how to make your artwork more visible and more relevant in ways that you feel good about — and in ways that other people actually notice.
Map Your Monograph is based on my signature G.U.I.D.E system that helps artists successfully navigate the art book publishing world, wther you want to self-publish or work with a publisher. Proven effective for six years and counting!
Because here’s the truth…
Understanding how publishing impacts you as an artist is the best way to make a book that makes a difference.
In this workshop, you will:
Decide how your monograph will transform your career and build your legacy.
You didn’t become an artist just so you could follow someone else’s rules. Map Your Monograph shows you where your power lies and how to use it to your advantage.
Discover the one thing that will make or break your monograph’s success
(it’s not what you think).
With one essential thing in place, a monograph can distinguish you and your work from the mainstream. Map Your Monograph shows you how.
Draft your monograph’s budget and timeline so you see the roadblocks ahead of time and plan accordingly.
Every monograph has its own budget and timeline. Map Your Monograph provides you with templates to customize based on real-world resources.
Determine whether self-publishing or working with a publisher is right for you, and why.
One size does not fit all, especially in publishing. Informed by industry research from leaders in the field, Map Your Monograph lays out the specifics, so you can choose the path that’s best for you.
and more…all with a simple visual map.
Meet Your Workshop Leader
Nancy Zastudil, The Necessarian
I’m on a mission to make the publishing industry transparent and accessible for as many artists as possible.
For over two decades, I have been advocating for artists’ voices. More than half of that time has been focused on furthering artists’ legacies through curating, editing, publishing, and writing.
Whether through self-publishing or securing publishing deals with Radius Books, Skira, Workshop Arts, and others, I've helped individuals and organizations navigate publishing at every scale — from intimate monographs to major institutional catalogues. I know the art world. I know publishing. And I know how much it matters to get your words and work into the world on your own terms.
I’ll show you how to make publishing work for you.
