Art and book dealers are intermediaries selling the work of artists and authors to buyers and helping to establish a market for their work. They both have a long history as a profession.
Art dealers tend to focus on representing the works of a small number of artists with a particular style of art, such as portraiture, landscapes, or impressionism. In contrast, most book dealers stock a vast range of authors, though they can limit their stock to authors from a particular community - for example, LGBTQ authors or women authors only.
There are many notable LGBTQ authors and artists who seek out a dealer to represent and market their work. Having a relationship with a fellow LGBTQ individual can often be the result. The relationship strengthens the quality of the work of both artists and authors and helps to build the reputations and credibility of each.
