Hello, friends! Today I want to tell you about my latest book, “How to Get Gigs You Love: Money, Fun, and Opportunity for the Solo Performer.”

It’s a soup-to-nuts guide for getting gigs you love and rocking them once you get ’em!

(It is gleefully inexpensive: $4.99. Here’s a link in case you want to go right away and check it out: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MCS2222…)

This one is for my solo performer friends – musicians, poets, storytellers, historical re-enactors, and spoken word artists.

If you’d like to book more shows, to perform for attentive, respectful, appreciative audiences, and to stop playing for “exposure” and start earning good money for your investment of effort, care, and skill, “How to Get Gigs You Love” will help transform your gigging life.

You’ll learn:

* how to find and focus on venues that have a budget to pay you
* how to package your repertoire so that you create a powerful, impactful show that is attractive to venues and audiences
* how to book a paid show: who to approach and what to say, how to talk about money (and gently haggle, when that’s called for), and how to decide if an opportunity fits you and your show
* how to handle the business of booking (and the appendix contains templates of essential documents that you can adapt for your own use: a great time-saver)
* the attitudes and actions that will get venue hosts talking about you, starting the delicious process of word-of-mouth invitations and ensuring you’re asked to return to perform again
* to see yourself and your performing career with a new, empowering vision

It was a JOY to pour into this book what I’ve learned over the last 15 years or so as a performing artist. My heart’s desire is that it helps YOU create a performing life of money, fun, and opportunity!

Some of my favorite people have read and reviewed it.

Tom Smith called it “a gem of a book for anyone interested in getting paid for (or getting paid more for) performing as an independent artist.”

Betsi Mandrioli called it “full box of tools and tips that every performer can and should use.”

Cynthia Chatis called it “a life-living book, written beautifully, from the heart, from one who fully walks the talk.”

The words of these dear friends and esteemed peers in music- and art-making mean the world to me. Thank you, Tom, Betsi, and Cynthia!

I’d be so grateful if you’d help me spread the word about this.

I love to think that together we can create a world where more people ACT on their dreams and desires and reap the delicious rewards!
