Whether you're a first-timer or have a couple of campaigns under your belt, this book gives you the real tools and tactics to get your comic funded and into readers' hands.
Inside, You'll Learn:
How to set realistic funding goals (and the common trap most people fall into)

What you really make after fees, printing, and shipping
How to price your rewards without losing money
