Shannon Muir’s Take on the Animation World

In all the information that’s gone out about GARDNER’S GUIDE TO WRITING AND PRODUCING ANIMATION, one thing that hasn’t been emphasized enough is the Spotlight Interviews from professionals throughout the industry.  These people were gracious enough to give their time and expertise and I want to publicly thank each of them for their time.

 The full list of interviewees, in alphabetical order, is:

* Jack Angel, Voice Actor
* Monique Beatty, Line Producer
* Jerry Beck, Producer/Animation Historian
* Larry DiTillio, Story Editor/Writer
* Michael Donovan, Voice Director
* John Grusd, Director
* Marc Handler, ADR Story Editor/Writer
* Carl Johnson, Composer
* Bill Koepnik, co-owner of audio post house Advantage Audio
* Christy Marx, Story Editor/Writer
* Jan Nagel, Marketing Diva
* Josh Prikryl, Overseas Supervisor
* Sander Schwartz, Studio Executive
* Tad Stones, Producer
* Brooks Wachtel, Story Editor/Writer
* Greg Weisman, Producer/ Story Editor/Writer
* Robert Winthrop, Producer
* Tim Yoon, Production Manager

Again, thank you all for your contributions!

Just also brought to my attention that I am now in the Entertainment> Movies> Screenwriting section of Amazon’s Hot New Releases where I now rank at #10!  Wow…

If you’ve wanted to know more about the book than Amazon offers, check out the publisher’s site where I’m now the front page feature (with the final cover shown, FYI, Amazon is wrong):

If you click on the list of the featured books, you’ll have to scroll down to find the full writeup which includes reviews by several people of the book (also found on the back of the book). Check out what they have to say!

A lot of my time right now is focused on the AWN Media Center at media.awn.com.  I’m helping process new material, plus working with the technical team to make sure that viewers have the best possible experience.

As more things happen, I’ll keep you posted.
