[Denise みか Hutchins · Rating 4 out of 5]

This wasn't a bad book, and if you've never read anything like it, it's definitely a good place to start! It unfortunately had a notable number of typos, which was distracting, and although it was good review (and I highlighted many lines to remember for later!) I didn't ultimately read anything that I hadn't already read in other books about creative business practices. That's why I just couldn't give it the full five stars.
