LITTLE WAYS TO EARN CASH BEFORE THE FRINGE

4/15/2014

Creatives are always in the market for a little extra cash (in our experience anyway. If you're a creative who's rolling in it, please let us know how you achieved financial freedom).

Edinburgh is famed for sucking all your money, and people are often scrabbling to get some extra cash in between rehearsing and previewing, so we've thought up some ways that you can get a little extra cash in the lead-up to what could easily be one of the most expensive months of your life.

London - 36.1%
Brighton - 12.7%
Edinburgh - 12.7%
Sydney - 6.3%
Glasgow - 4.2%
Buxton - 2.1%
Birmingham - 4.2%

WE'RE PUBLISHED!

1/21/2014

After many months of promises, our book is finally here. Hooray! We're like proud parents, (but with more papercuts) showing photos of our production to all and sundry, especially on social media. Here's the image of the cover:

Pretty cool, right?

You can purchase a copy from this very website and also from Amazon, (which is still blowing our tiny minds - no you get over it!) in digital or paperback editions.

And just as exciting, we have put together two packages of extras that include exciting things like a budget calculator (!!!) and print and advertising discounts.

Thanks to all our supporters - friends, family and all those we interviewed. We hope people enjoy reading it a LOT more than we enjoyed writing it. It was a pain in the ass. But at least it's done now. Please buy it. It took us ages.
