We got the following tweet yesterday:

We are both writers, so we sure love verbal expression. The book so far is funny and engaging, full of anecdotes, opinions and advice. But we realised something: what it doesn't have is hard facts and figures.

There are plenty of stats available from the Fringe Society, but we decided to run a survey of our own. It's just a 10-minute survey, but it is grandiosely titled the Unofficial Fringe Census. So far, our mums have both taken it, but we'd like to cast the net a little wider than immediate family. It takes less than 10 minutes, plus you'll get a chance to win a copy of the book if you leave us your email address! To take the survey, please click below. It would be great if you could share it while you're at it. 

We've officially launched as Cracking the Fringe on Facebook and Twitter today. We'll be sharing Festival news and hot tips as we build up to the best arts festival on earth.
