“I am an actress who needed answers to thousands of questions. Other actors didn’t know or didn’t care to share the information. I found your book at the Drama Book Shop in Manhattan and it is now my bible. I have read it over and over again. Each time I find something new, informative and extremely useful. Whenever I mention something that I have learned from your book to another supposedly more established and experienced actor, I find that they are not as aware of this business as they thought. I am learning so much from your book that I feel empowered, unstoppable and just great.”

“I received your book as a gift from a TV producer in Tampa, Florida, my home town. It is the best of the best. You pull no punches. You do not ‘tell them what they want to hear’. You are so direct that it sometimes hurts to see the truth in print, AND I LOVE IT!” 

What does an actor need to connect with the right agent? Craft, credits, assertiveness, energy, directness, thought-
fulness, humor --- the same qualities Ms. Callan exhibits in this marvelous guide. Why didn't I have it twenty-five years ago? Never mind - I'm keeping it under my pillow.        Rue McClanahan

Besides including practical information on such subjects as how to find an agent and how to audition, actress/author K Callan tosses in advice on how to get organized and how to assess one's job getting potential in the marketplace. This book should come in handy for anyone considering an acting career.      Variety

This tough little book makes it clear that an actor in America is a small businessman selling a product that nobody particularly wants. Author K Callan shows the young actor how to maintain dignity while merchandising the product, but she makes it clear how hard it is to keep the two things in balance. Los Angeles Times
