Description
by Kevin B. Dibacco (Author)
Stop Starving. Start Selling. Keep Creating.
After 37 years in Hollywood and becoming a bestselling author, Kevin B. DiBacco has closed over 5 motion picture distribution deals and 6 book publishing contracts using the same proven sales system. Now he reveals exactly how artists in any medium can achieve professional success without compromising their creative vision.
From Creation to Cash: How a Bestselling Author & Filmmaker Closed 5+ Motion Picture Film Distribution Deals & 6 Book Publishing Deals, Using These Proven Methods.
This book is written by an artist for all artists-not a professor teaching theory, but a practitioner sharing battle-tested wisdom.
The brutal truth? DiBacco endured 250+ rejection letters for his biography alone, yet still closed deals. His secret wasn't better art-it was better business. The same relationship-building skills that worked in film worked in publishing. The same professional presentation that impressed producers impressed editors. The same systematic persistence that landed distribution deals eventually landed bestseller status.
Inside you'll discover:
- Word-for-word scripts for handling "It's too expensive" objections
- The exact email templates that secured his distribution deals
- How to price your work like a professional (not a desperate amateur)
- The 40-30-20-10 social media rule that converts followers to buyers
- Complete legal templates and contracts that protect your interests
- Why rejection isn't personal-it's statistical (and how to use that knowledge)
Whether you're a painter seeking gallery representation, a musician booking venues, a filmmaker needing distribution, or a writer chasing publication-you're facing the same fundamental challenge: getting decision-makers to say yes to your work.
This isn't about becoming "salesy." It's about becoming professional. Artists who master these skills don't create less authentic work-they create more of it because they're not constantly worried about paying rent.
Your art deserves to reach the people who will treasure it. This book shows you exactly how to make that connection-professionally, authentically, and profitably.
The starving artist myth ends here.
