Corwin updates the classic "how to sell your writing" book by encouraging readers to be broader and more flexible in their thinking. He demonstrates how to get ideas in the hands of decision makers in a variety of industries and describes how one idea can be parlayed into success in many outlets. Readers will learn how a book can turn into a screenplay, a comic book into an action figure, a magazine piece into website content. They will also be given specific advice on how to package ideas that will get noticed in the publishing, film. television, and internet content industries.
