5.0 out of 5 stars Works on Multiple Levels, February 26, 2006
This review is from: Get on TV!: The Insider's Guide to Pitching the Producers and Promoting Yourself (Paperback)
OK. I admit it. When I agreed to review "Get on TV" by Jacquie Jordan it was for my own selfish reasons. My new novel had just been released, and I was looking for a way to get on TV for added exposure. So naturally, I chose the book with the perfect title, and man am I glad I did.

In "Get on TV" veteran TV producer and insider Jacquie Jordan (who has worked with folks like Donny Osmond and Maury Povich) reveals valuable information on what it takes to get on television. The books gives detailed information on topics such as how to assemble a press kit, how to speak the language of TV producers and how to set realistic expectations on appearing on your favorite (and not so favorite) news and talk shows.

"Get on TV" works on multiple levels, mainly because the reader can feel the author's genuine authenticity when reading between the lines. It's not one of those books that was written solely to promote the author's business. In fact, Jordan even shares ways to circumvent the need to hire an agency like hers. You gotta love and respect that.

Though the book is packed with outstanding information, including a sample release form, contact information for all of the major networks and Jordan's insider info, some of the material (like definitions and learning the lingo) seemed to be overkill. But don't let this minor distraction fool you. Jacquie Jordan knows her stuff, and if you follow the advice in this book it wouldn't surprise me at all if I saw you on TV soon after. Buy this book and follow the advice given and I know I'll see you on the small screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jordan Demystifies the Process of Getting on TV, December 31, 2005
This review is from: Get on TV!: The Insider's Guide to Pitching the Producers and Promoting Yourself (Paperback)
Jacquie Jordan is that rare guru who is both a PR insider and a TV insider. This book is short on theory and long on the exact and precise steps you need to take to get on TV, and, more important, get invited back repeatedly. Jordan demystifies the process for beginning TV experts by showing them how to succeed without mortgaging their homes for high-powered publicists. And yet "Get on TV" also contains enough advanced tips and insider nuance to make the most grizzled media mavens feel like they've learned something new. "Get on TV" is an important part of my media and PR library.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Stuff, March 1, 2006
This review is from: Get on TV!: The Insider's Guide to Pitching the Producers and Promoting Yourself (Paperback)
This is a great book especially for those folks that know nothing about the TV/entertainment industry. Ms. Jordan does an excellent job of detailing the different job descriptions and provides invaluable insider information that one outside the industry would never have access to.
