Punk Rock Entrepreneur is a guide to launching your own business using DIY methods that allow you to begin from wherever you are, right now. Caroline Moore talks (and illustrates!) you through the why and how of business operations that she learned over years booking bands, organising fests, sleeping on couches, and making a little go a long way.
Engaging stories and illustrations show you the ropes, from building a network and working distribution channels to the value of community and being authentic.
With first hand accounts from touring bands and small business owners, this book gives you the inspiration and down-to-earth advice you'll need to get started working for yourself.
The second edition features a new introduction by Lookout Records co-founder Larry Livermore.
