Los Angeles, CA – March 13, 2012 – The business of entertainment is known to be one of the toughest in the world. It is a world where anything goes and expectations are often met with disappointment. With the recent onslaught of “tell-all” books coming into the market, an eBook series is looking to set a new standard for the genre.
Regarded by some as an Atlanta based tell-all, Industry Life & Times eBook series may be just that, but with a twist. Sure, high profile names are involved and the writer does “tell-all” about the different situations she has encountered while on the Atlanta scene, but this eBook series takes a different approach that has not been seen in the genre.
Vol., I: Perspectives, Thoughts and “WTF” Moments was released in summer of 2012 to excellent reviews by select bloggers as well as the Women in PR organization. Noted less for offering the traditional trappings of a tell-all and more for how the material is presented in an educational and informative manner to the reader, Industry Life & Times’ first hand accounts of relative unknown and high profile happenings on the Atlanta scene also provides a “think-tank” section following each chapter where the reader is encouraged to take an analytical look at the subject matter covered. Jurena G. Cantrell, author of the series, is an Atlanta based writer, publicist and television producer who began her career in the 1990s. She says she decided to pen the series after she noticed “just how much the next generation of emerging artists, executives and taste-makers did not know about the business that they were already involved in or looking to get into.”
Topics addressed in Industry Life & Times eBook Series include:
•How issues, like drugs & sex, have ruined careers & endeavors
•How being naïve can put you in scandalous and dangerous situations
•How being inexperienced and overwhelmed by a situation can sour a project
•How the trappings of alternative lifestyles come into play
•How parents can provide stability to youth involved in the business
In addition, Industry Life & Times also provides the reader with the opportunity to delve into the subject matter in a way that a traditional book cannot. By incorporating video links and social media plug-ins directly into the chapters, Industry Life & Times eBook series allows the reader to share what they are learning and reading via social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
Cantrell believes Industry Life & Times eBook series should be viewed as a way of passing the torch to the next generation, a way in which they can grow and succeed in their respectivecareers and endeavors. She says, “When my colleagues and I were making our way, we were young adults with high expectations, yet very naïve about the world we were entering. I feel that we owe the next generation more than the attitude of allowing them to find out on their own. Therefore, I set out to not only entertain but to also create resource materials that will also help them succeed.”
Industry Life & Times, Vol. I: Perspectives, Thoughts and “WTF” Moments is available via www.amazon.com in digital format only. Vol. II: Situation, Scenarios and “WTF” Moments is slated to be released in spring of 2013.
