If you are in business or in an industry that is highly competitive; authorship can be a game changer. It enhances credibility, raises status, attracts business, brings in more money, and builds a personal brand like nothing else. A Writer's Guide to Fame and Fortune provides first-time and experienced writers with an action plan for understanding their ideal reader, choosing a "hot" subject, going through the writing process, and getting published faster than they ever thought possible. Who this book is for: Business professionals currently between assignments Expert consultants delegated to accepting projects from anyone who offers a contract Seasoned employees who see the best projects go to people younger or less qualified Retirees, white-collar, blue-collar, or military, who are not yet ready for full retirement Small business owners looking for new and effective ways to market Self-employed individuals who find themselves between projects Lawyers, accountants, and accredited professionals frustrated with networking efforts Health care providers struggling to build a practice Inventors who need venture capital Entrepreneurs impatiently waiting for opportunities to find them Administrators of nonprofits desperate for funding Graduate students forced to compete in an employers' market Every expert who has ever said "Someday, I am going to write a book" A Writer's Guide to Fame and Fortune stems from the author's 25-year career as a marketing communications consultant; and grew out of the issues and concerns of clients, consultants, entrepreneurs, and other professionals worried about today's' economy and its impact on small business. Especially their own. Today, even the most marketing savvy are not satisfied with returns from traditional advertising, minimal leads from websites and blogs, and little measurable results from time-consuming social media efforts. They all ask, "What else can I do?" To answer that question, Amy Lorenti recommends the one action proved to work time and again. "Establish yourself as the 'go to' expert; write a book." New developments in science, technology and politics impact our lives every day. Businesses and organizations, in particular, are desperate for experienced and knowledgeable individuals to help them successfully navigate the brave new world we find ourselves in. They want - and need - to hear from experts; and the sooner the better. "They need to hear from you."

A clever writing self-help parody that skewers writers’ guides while offering amusing, almost-helpful advice. This parody self-help book for writers is filled with hilariously misguided tips, factual-looking charts, and other advice that knowingly pokes fun at writerly foibles while still cheering would-be authors on. With this book, struggling writers can find suggestions for effective paragraph shapes, tips on where to find inspiration (in your reflection, in the shapes of gum stuck to the ground, in a consultation with your doctor), thoughtful poses for author photos, pull-out procrastination excuses, and much more. How to Success! is filled with enough almost-helpful advice to keep aspiring writers amused, unblocked, and on their way to literary fame. “How to Success! lightens the pressure many creatives put on themselves to succeed. In effect, it acts as a mirror, showing readers how silly and elusive writing—and writers—can be. Caputo offers practical advice with a comedic twist that will have you laughing out loud.” —Failure Magazine

Companies with strong reputations are better able to attract customers, investors, and quality employees-and to survive crises that would destroy weaker firms. Fame and Fortune shows how to quantitatively measure your company's reputation, estimate its business value, and systematically enhance it over both the short- and long-term. First, you'll learn how to benchmark your firm's reputation against key rivals in six key areas, ranging from product quality to emotional appeal. Next, you'll discover that the winners of global reputation surveys get to the top by following a set of core principles through which they build visibility, distinctiveness, consistency, authenticity, and transparency. Then, starting from where you are now, you'll learn how to implement genuine corporate initiatives that strengthen two-way dialogue with all your stakeholders, and build the "reputational capital" you will need to succeed-and thrive. Why reputations matter: the proof, in cold, hard cash. Quantifying the "unquantifiable": the value of your corporate image. The reputation audit: discovering where you stand. Six key measures of your corporate reputation. Using the "Reputation Value Cycle" to your advantage. Creating a "virtuous circle" in which reputation enhances business corporate value. Making it real: the elements of trustworthiness. Building and communicating authenticity, consistency, and transparency. Standing apart from the crowd. Improving your visibility and your distinctiveness. How FedEx did it: lessons for your organization. Reputational best practices from a company built on trust. Create quantifiable business value by building your company's reputation. The definitive business reputation guide for every corporate officer, strategist, corporate communicator, and marketing professional How to audit your reputation-and benchmark your competitor An integrated approach that cuts across communications, strategy, marketing, and organization Techniques for strengthening your reputation with investors, customers, partners, regulators, citizens, and employees Includes detailed tools from the Reputation Institute's own StellarRep(r) model, the world's #1 reputation management toolkit Companies with great reputations do better on virtually every business metric. Now, you have unprecedented access to a roadmap for building the kind of reputation you need and deserve. Drawing on unsurpassed experience and the field's best research, two leading experts illuminate reputation management for executives, business communicators, marketers, and strategists alike. You'll first review the powerful business case for actively managing your reputation. Next, you'll realistically assess where you stand in areas ranging from product quality to financial strength, vision to social responsibility... discovering how to make the most of your strengths as you overcome your weaknesses. The authors show that to improve reputation, you have to improve visibility, distinctiveness, authenticity, transparency, and consistency throughout the enterprise-not just in traditional silos like PR, advertising, or IR! Want the powerful business value that arises from a world-class reputation? One book will show you how to get it: Fame and Fortune. "A strong reputation is an enduring source of competitive advantage. In Fame and Fortune, Fombrun and van Riel show how successful companies mobilize the support of employees, consumers, and investors to strengthen their reputational capital. An excellent read!" --Frederick W. Smith, Chairman, President & CEO, FedEx Corp.

A humorous and pithy guide to the craft of writing a screenplay and the business of being a screenwriter. Seeing your name on the silver screen beneath the words "Written By" is a moment most writers only dream of. But for those daring and talented few, brave enough to take their hopes to Hollywood, there are clear and tangible steps to achieve that goal if one knows the path. The Aspiring Screenwriter's Dirty Lowdown Guide to Fame and Fortune provides that path. And Andy Rose has walked it. With years of experience with every major film studio and network, and dozens of successful screenplays, Andy knows the business. He’s here to debunk the big screen and teach you how to write a blockbuster screenplay and equally important, how to sell it. Andy has worked with the best: Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, David Geffen, and Jeff Katzenberg to name a few. He has filled this book with real life examples to learn from including contracts, screenplays, treatments, press, and more. For anyone who’s ever dreamed of writing a screenplay, for anyone who’s wondered how to sell one, this is a must read.
