And from what I can tell from Mr. Turman's book, there are a lot of parallels between the two. In fact, that's why I bought the book in the first place: I suddenly found my creative-self undergoing mitosis, and generating a business counter-part. That's the part that doesn't just create a job, but has to sell and manage it. During my frustrations with ...             Top Producer: A Novel54 reviews Norb Vonnegut Minotaur Books, 2009 Nicely done. First things first: I really enjoyed reading this, and am lucky I got it at the beginning of the Thanksgiving weekend -- otherwise, I would have missed some work! The pacing was great (the first few pages really suck you in to the story), and the main character was very well developed. A couple quibbles: the secondary characters were a bit two dimensional, especially his female coworkers. ...             Indie Producers Handbook : Creative Producing From A to Z34 reviews Myrl A.

Schirmer Trade Books, 2005 Insight to the secrets: Have a plan A to plan Z. This book was required reading for FSU's Film Producing class. Usually the film books we are recommended to read are redundant and old news. This book is far from that. It's educational to the point of strategy and for sure a morality boost. This is a Yes You Can book. It gives you a plan A and then the Z for when all the other letters won't work.             Behind the Glass, Volume II: Top Producers Tell How They Craft the Hits (Book)4 reviews Howard Massey Backbeat Books, 2009 Amazing insight into the creative mind If you are interested in audio this book is a must read.

I am a recording artist and record producer and I've never read a book so honest and valuable. The version I got was older and full of obsolete info, but that didn't decrease it's value at all. If anything some of it makes for a good laugh. All in all I HIGHLY recommend this book if you're interested in or involved in the music industry.             The Producer's Business Handbook, Second Edition9 reviews John J.

As noted earlier, it's not just good for film students; anyone who has ...             How to be a Record Producer in the Digital Era3 reviews Megan Perry Billboard Books, 2008 Essential reading! I consider this the prime resource for gaining knowledge into the very broad spectrum of responsibilities that go along with being a legitimate music producer. Though some of the book addresses the current evolution of the recording industry, most of the material concerning the producer's role is timeless. I'm still surprised at how in-depth and detailed this is, given all of the variables ...             The Stage Producer's Business and Legal Guide2 reviews Charles Grippo Allworth Press, 2002 Good reference but something missing It covers a lot of things that a neophyte producer might not think of but it doesn't cover a few things that I would've expected.
