The Hollywood Survival Guide For Actors is a 352 page reference guide written by working actress and MENSA member Kym Jackson (Criminal Minds, Snitch, NCIS: LA). Over 2000 copies of the first edition were sold in Australia and It is currently available in over 100 bookstores and drama schools worldwide. The text reveals all the current information an actor needs to have a successful career in film and television today. It is a tell-all of the insider secrets author Kym Jackson spent nine years researching and compiling for any actor hoping to navigate the rough seas of the film and TV industry. Proofed and edited by over forty top Hollywood professionals, it covers basics like headshots and resumes, but flows quickly into hundreds of more intricate and rarely revealed topics like audition protocols, how films are financed, how TV shows are created, how and where to network, SAG-AFTRA contract categories, on-set terminology and behavior, where legitimate auditions are sourced, and literally hundreds more pieces of knowledge vital for anyone seriously pursuing a professional acting career. With a foreword by top Hollywood casting director Jeremy Gordon (Wolverine, We The Millars), the book has been added to textbook lists for performing arts departments at several universities and is recommended reading in many performing arts conservatories. It has appeared on and in over thirty national TV interview shows, radio shows, magazines and newspapers, and is being added to blogs and reviewer websites daily. Both editions of the text maintain a perfect 5 star rating on Amazon and Goodreads. This book is now on the BFA (Acting) textbook list. QUT claims to educate for the real world and Kym Jackson's grasp of what young actors want is very real and very timely. -Dianne Eden (Head of Acting: Queensland University of Technology) What a veritable FEAST of information! It would take years to gather this together and Kym has done it - all now in the palm of (hopefully) thousands of people's hands. -Dean Carey (Creative and Founding Director: Actors Center Australia)
