If they were going to publish it, they would have called me. Editors said they were “talking about it” in their next meeting and it “looked good.” One morning, I got an email from them titled “Your manuscript.” I was so disappointed that I sagged in my chair. They liked it but…no, thanks.įinally, I had a strong nibble from a great place, Heinemann. You don’t need an agent for a book like this, I learned, so I sent it to many, many publishing houses. It even had a chapter by a famous acting teacher named Michael Shurtleff who wrote Audition. I wrote a non-fiction book for actors called How to Make Your Audience Fall in Love with You. I’m a film and theater director and I teach/coach actors in L.A. Finally, it was about making even a few cents. After that, it was getting the book into the bookstores, and keeping the book there for more than a year.
