I got the paperback through her Kickstarter campaign. OMG! This is the most complete book on this topic I've seen. The best part is she not only tells how you to do everything step-by-step, but she also shares what each of her own 11 campaigns (to date in July 2025) were set for goals, what she was creating, and what she ultimately was funded for. #1 takeaway that will make a huge difference for me is how to use my backlist to generate more tiers (a gamechanger) and renew readership. A HUGE eyeopener for me and it really hit home all the cautions and ROI calculations she went through earlier. I dogeared so many pages, I have to go back now with sticky notes. When I set up my first campaign this book will be right by my computer, along with her checklist. Very highly recommended!!!
