Love that she keeps updating it to be current info! One of the only acting books I’ve read that includes post-Covid tips.

Good, albeit a tad condescending if you're not an 8th grader living in Texas. K Callen likes to remind you of her modest background and good ole' girl morals, but other than that it's a very helpful book. I don't know if I'm going to write down a notebook's worth business plan, but you know what? I probably should.

I read an older edition, so the information was a bit dated in spots. Still, a pretty good overview of how to get into the acting business. It leans heavily towards the NY and LA markets, but that's to be expected. I was reading it as a puppeteer trying to find more work, so some of the book wasn't entirely applicable to my situation. Still a worthwhile read, though.

Such a wonderful and practical guide to have in my collection.
