Waste of Paper

Sometimes writers need to learn that secrets are best kept to yourself. A waste of money.

Those who can't ...write

Though an interesting topic...there is a reason why good promotion is short and sweet - perhaps they should have remembered this while writing this trivial book.

TV: The Story of Smoke & Mirrors comes alive!

These ladies hit the industry right between the proverbial "rabbit ears". Witty, crazy, ballsy and bold! They tell it like it is and take no prisoners. It certainly motivates you to want to get into promo and be creative to break the old rules and make up some new ones... "Must See TV" move...

The Real Thing

I write and produce promos for a living, and a friend gave me this book as a joke. I ended up reading it cover to cover. (Who knew anyone had written a book about this end of the business?)I gotta tell you, it's about as real a depiction of the TV business as anything I've ever read: the fun,...

Way better than any textbook

What a great read!This is a fly-on-the-wall book that gives you a real inside and unvarnished view of the realities of the TV business. It's not all fun and glamour, but the excitement and rewards sure seem to outweigh the negatives. I'm moving to LA this summer to pursue a career in promo.

and i don't even like TV

Got hold of an advance copy through a friend and had a ball - great read and it really puts a human face on what goes on the behind the Wizard of Oz curtain of television.
