 About the series
 PERFORM: Succeeding as a Creative Professional is an easy-to-read 
series for undergraduate and graduate students that professors across 
disciplines in the arts can use to accompany their primary textbooks. 
The books are encouraging in tone and detail what it takes to perform 
creatively and financially in the specific fields. The series serves as 
a career development tool to help students understand the various 
vocational possibilities in the discipline they’re studying, whether 
acting, directing, or writing for the performing arts.

How we make a living as artists can be a bit of a mystery, particularly 
to students who are just beginning to learn the craft of their field. 
This series offers practical, real-world discussions about how people go 
about the business of getting paid to be artists. Each book includes 
essays by and interviews with working artists (writers, directors, 
actors, stage managers, cinematographers, editors) as well as the people 
these artists interact with in the field (show runners, development 
executives, producers, agents, casting directors). The books also 
includes essays by prominent professors, profiling specific artists and 
their journeys to success, as well as some of the lesser-known 
difficulties artists face in their fields and the perseverance and 
successes of marginalized groups.

The range of perspectives in each book offers a broad but detailed view 
of the industry and varying career tracks within it, ultimately 
bolstering readers’ confidence that they have a solid understanding of 
what it takes achieve creative and financial success with their art—in 
other words, what it takes to make a living as an artist.
 Directing for the Screen
"This is not a 'how to' book, but an absorbing read which takes you on 
many different routes into directing. Full of insights, the range of 
interviewees is impressive. They all urge would-be directors to observe 
and learn, be persistent and find their voice."

—Claire Barwell, Former Chair of NAHEMI, Course Leader of Film 
Production at the Farnham Film School, University for the Creative Arts

Writing for the Screen
"An essential book – so accessible, so beautifully written, so 
encouraging and realistic and specific. It covers all the bases. Anyone 
contemplating a career as a screenwriter MUST read this book!"

—Dr. Linda Seger, Script Consultant, Author, Seminar Leader
Acting for the Stage
“Required reading for any business class on acting. An invaluable book 
for anyone looking to peer into the real world of the working actor. 
Easy to read, with a wide array of working artists talking about how to 
live and breathe acting. This book could radically change your career. I 
wish someone had handed this to me twenty years ago!"

—Richard Robichaux, Head of Acting, Penn State University
