Consider The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer. Recommended by 5 sources.
“Amanda Palmer writes in a confessional, theatrical voice that mixes stage anecdotes, crowdfunding lessons, and blunt reflections on asking for help. It reads conversationally and often like a series of spoken stories. The value lies in its frank, scene-driven examples of what it feels like to solicit support as an artist and the ethical tensions she wrestles with. Limitations: episodic structure repeats the same lessons, and self-reverent moments may feel indulgent; it’s light on concrete how-to steps or systematic advice for non-artists.”
