COMING OUT IN JUNE!

Penned by two hilarious and experienced insiders, THE HOLLYWOOD ASSISTANTS HANDBOOK lays out all the secrets you'll need to survive and thrive in one of the world's toughest industries. The 86 rules -- named after movies like The Graduate, Mission Impossible, and Bride of Chucky -- run the gamut from how to score your first job, where to sip cocktails with HPPs (Hollywood Power Players), who to schmooze, when to ask for a raise, and most importantly, what NOT to say to the movie stars passing by your cubicle. Confessions from real life assistants (anonymous of course) will teach you how to avoid the mistakes that will end with a pink slip. Pop quizzes will help you keep track of how much you've learned along the way (first up, "How to Tell if You're a Moron Who Should Pack Up the Corolla and Move Back Home..."). With insights as practical as they are snarky, THE HOLLYWOOD ASSISTANTS HANDBOOK is for everyone -- from those who want a behind-the-scenes taste of Hollywood to the young sharks dying to become the next Head of the Studio. Next up, getting your very own assistant!
