“When searching for a book on acting recently, I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted a modern, easy to read, how to book on the business of acting which incorporated social media and making your own work. I wanted it to be about the British industry which I have learnt to love and battle with myself, and I wanted it written by someone who I could relate to, who had endured the same battles that I had. Having been in the industry for over fifteen years, I often found myself giving advice to new actors on set or in audition rooms. Strangers often message me on social media and linked in asking advice for themselves, their friends or their children. Whether it’s to do with getting an agent, working with an agent, producing films, finding photographers, social media- the list goes on. I hear stories of actors getting ripped off all of the time and it breaks my heart. I would tell people all of the things that I wish someone had told me when I first started out. Then it struck me. Perhaps if I was looking for this book, then were would be other people looking for it too.”
