Shannon Muir’s Take on the Animation World

Just like the book before it, GARDNER’S GUIDE TO PITCHING AND SELLING ANIMATION offers a selection of Spotlight Interviews from people in all aspects of the animation business.  The book is more than just my telling how it can be done, but gives the chance to hear from people in their own words how it has been done.

Look for spotlight interviews from:

* HEATHER KENYON, former development executive at Cartoon Network
* GREG WEISMAN, producer of SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN and many other credits
* LOUISE NEMSCHOFF, entertainment attorney (please note her information is general and does not constitute specific legal advice for any situation)
* STAN BERKOWITZ, writer of the animated JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE NEW FRONTIER and many other credits
* MARV WOLFMAN, with numerous credits in animation, video games, comics and more
* JYMN MAGON, Story Editor for numerous series including many for Walt Disney Television Animation
* VIC COOK, director for SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN and many other credits
* JENNIFER UPTON, Producer at HIT Entertainment London
* BETSY MCGOWEN, former executive for KidsWB!
* KEVIN PAUL SHAW BRODEN, show developer and narrative illustrator
* ADAM BEECHEN, Story Editor for HI HI PUFFY AMIYUMI and other animation and comics credits
* CHRISTOPHER KEENAN, former development executive for Warner Bros. TV Animation and animation development consultant
* STEPHANIE GRAZIANO, owner of Building Your Own Business and former animation studio executive

I’m finding even more ebook retailers offering GARDNER’S GUIDE TO PITCHING AND SELLING ANIMATION in Adobe PDF.   At any favorite book site you want to check, be sure to look it up by title not author as many places have it mis-listed by Garth Gardner as the author, who is only the publisher.

My latest find offering the book and a preview of Chapter 1 is:

GARDNER’S GUIDE TO PITCHING AND SELLING ANIMATION was apparently released to Adobe PDF e-book without much fanfare in DECEMBER 2008. Places I’ve found selling it so far:

… and (ahem) on an erotic book site I will not repeat the link for.

Dedicated Teacher in particular will show you a free sample of Chapter 1 and the Table of Contents.

Hey, it’s half the price of the first book for double the pages! What are you waiting for?

P.S. A number of the sites - including those that list the never released paperback from last September - have Garth Gardner as the author, NOT me, though my name is clearly on the cover and inside. It’s a genuine Shannon Muir-only book, for sure!
