• I Don't Need a Record Deal! got great reviews in dozens of magazines. Here's a sample:

• "You don't need this book. You can learn everything it says by talking to musicians and record labels, and trial and error. . . go to seminars and conferences on small business and marketing. You can spend a couple years (or longer) reaching the same conclusions, meanwhile missing some opportunities and revenue along the way. . . . But for $20 US you could get nearly 300 pages of useful advice. You could stop spinning your wheels and feeling exhausted about your sputtering music career. This book has the tips that will make you more successful as a musician. Mote magazine

• "A major strength of "I Don't Need a Record Deal" is Schwartz's ability to effortlessly switch the tone of the book from a cheerleader/motivational to beer buddy blunt honesty . . . For musicians brave enough to do something with their career other than playing to the same 20 drunken friends on a Wednesday night "I Don't Need a Record Deal!" is a must read."    Ear Candy Magazine

• "I'll admit it, I was skeptical. Another book on how to be a musician? Come on. They're all alike. But I Don't Need A Record Deal! was different...it wooed me like no other music-biz book has. First off, Schwartz assumes that you want to remain an independent artist; to that end, she doesn't offer a glossary of royalty-speak or advice on how to kiss industry tuckus. What she does provide is loads of creative ideas on how to be successful as an indie...This one doesn't stand a chance of joining the dusty tomes at my next garage sale."   American Songwriter Magazine

• "I Don't Need A Record Deal! Your Survival Guide for the Indie Music Revolution is definitely required reading. Nicknamed Indie Music Guru, Schwartz will have you pumping and flexing your indie muscles in no time with expert tips to work the press, make a livable musical wage, secure radio airplay and handle your own publicity.   If you need help with anything else . . this book's got your back and then some. . . . With Schwartz's help, D.I.Y. stardom is finally yours for the taking."   ZINK

• "Schwartz uses her own unique style to give you an insider's view on the guidelines necessary for success. With interviews from 150 industry executives, she will walk you through putting out your own recording and marketing it yourself. If you listen, she can be the voice that will teach you how to make a business out of your music and run it yourself, while avoiding typical industry pitfalls."   Crave Magazine

• "Veteran music business guru Daylle Deanna Schwartz has written a survival guide for the indie musician struggling in today's tumultuous music business."   Music Connection magazine
