Three answers to three questions and some useful links:)
As always ... these my advice is filtered from my personal experience, and subjective ^ ^
Cara J,
I apologize sincerely for not having answered before.
Then, step immediately to respond to his questions:
- Now I would like to work for the publishing industry as an illustrator of course, but let me know how I can move in this direction. I could take the books already printed and waiting for my Artwork affianchino me a writer?
For many illustrators that's right. Not everyone are also authors of the stories which lend their images but ... :) My advice is to send a folder with color copies of his works to publishers of its interest. Then, if he can, should try to attend trade fairs. At the end of March is Children's Book Fair in Bologna, the largest in our country internationally. It 'a good opportunity to talk to editors and show her portfolio! Otherwise it can take individual interviews and go directly to the interview in the offices of the publishers.
- He also feels that the element of self-taught "can be a deterrent to a possible takeover?
- you need a VAT as an independent work?
Until exceeds a certain threshold of annual income there is no problem, I work with the retention d'acconto. In pratica lei percepisce solo il netto del lavoro e le tasse (il 20% di iva per l'appunto) viene pagato, invece che da lei dall'azienda che l'ha assunta.
