I'm about halfway through, and I've already learned so much! Love how easy to understand and follow this book is. So glad I grabbed a copy before launching my first Kickstarter campaign!
A wonderful, detailed guide. I appreciated the resources section in the back too!
Filled with a plethora of precise, helpful info to build a great campaign. Really helped orient me to Kickstarter, and specifically an as author.
For a book so crammed with great material, this is a really fast read. Very helpful.
This was a great resource to help me run my first Kickstarter, which funded successfully on the first morning. I will recommend it to anyone asking me about doing a Kickstarter.
