- “Laser Malena-Webber has compiled a veritable Hitchhiker's Guide for independent musicians hoping to harness the benefits of crowdfunding. Comprehensive enough to help anyone from rank novice to nascent mogul, Laser dishes practical info and wisdom using clear language and easy humor. You'll still need to do the work yourself, but Laser's guide will be your companion for crowdfunding success.” –Storm DiConstanzo, singer-songwriter, Paul and Storm
“I've done a few crowdfunding projects, and I've probably made every possible mistake. Wouldn't it be great if I'd had some kind of a guide, perhaps in book form, something that started with the basics, clarified the dizzying array of possibilities, and then connected my dream with the practical steps I needed to take to make it happen? This is that book. Crowdfunding is a powerful magic spell, and Laser is the Hogwarts professor who can teach you how to cast it in a way that works for you.” –Jonathan Coulton, independent musician, Emmy- and Tony-nominated songwriter, co-host of NPR's Ask Me Another.
