Larsen-

This is Barrett Brown; I an author and contributor to Vanity Fair, The Huffington Post, and other publications, and I'm serving as an editor for a book currently being written by actor/producer Pat Stack that's targeted towards entertainment professionals in general and aspiring actors in particular; the kick is that it deals with how to advance one's career in the industry by way of tactics used by salesmen. Stack himself started out as an actor (Rambo, Dynasty, Cheers) and a comedian (worked with Nathan Lane, who was his roommate at the time) but moved to sales in the early '90s due to the necessity of raising a family. He ended up making millions as Yahoo's first ad salesman; in 2002, he started his own production company and remains a producer to this day. Among other things, the book draws upon conversations with old industry buddies like Brian Dennehy, with whom he's been working closely for years.

Let me know if you'd like to see the proposal or if you know someone else who might be interested.
