Barely out of film school, Rob Long struck the jackpot and landed a job on the phenomenally successful TV sitcom, Cheers. However, with the demise of the show, Long was faced with the question, 'Is there life after Cheers?' Mercilessly witty about the daunting process of setting up a new series and getting it on air, these two books tell the absurd tale of what came next. Getting from pitch to pilot is a tricky path to navigate successfully, from making non-negotiable changes and deal-breaking edits, combined with accommodating the whims of studios, networks and agents, often the finished product ends up a long way from where the script-writer started. With the help of his agent, her constant demands, monstrous salesmanship, brutal irony and unswerving loyalty, Long's career fluctuates from wannabe to player, from award-winning script-writer to burnt out has-been. And it's all, as he says 'half true'.

Written in 1928, The Set-Up is a long narrative poem about the boxing underworld - a hard-boiled tragedy told in syncopated rhyming couplets. When the work was first published it made the bestseller list, and in 1949 it was turned into an award-winning film featuring Robert Ryan and Audrey Totter. This reprinting of the original, unchanged 1928 poem features dynamic, specially commissioned artwork by Erik Kriek that vividly conveys the story of Pansy, an up-and-coming black prize fighter who takes on all comers. When he was in the ring, "It was over before you knew it. He'd carve you up like a leg of mutton. And drop you flat with a sock on the button." Pansy's complicated love life leads to a spell in prison and his career subsequently takes a nosedive; but he continues to box until the fateful night his fight managers and opponent triple-cross him and he meets a grisly end at the hands of a vengeful gang.

Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision. And make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry (Habakkuk 2:3). God gave me a series of divine vision and then he manifested himself to me in different ways. I have been through many trials and tribulations in my life. I have suffered and persevered through abuse and sickness all through the grace of God. God had a calling and a purpose for my life. He also has a purpose for you. I hope that as you read this book you follow my example of staying true to God and trusting in him. Because it is God who has the final say so in all of our lives. Today, I stand strong and healed and filled with God's Spirit, his goodness and His love and I am washed in his blood. May this book be a blessing and inspiration to you through all of your trials. Know that God will carry you through every trial. He will never leave you and through our weaknesses his glory shines.

Why did I write this book? To get you to buy it of course, look at the subject! In all seriousness this little guide, if you use it properly, will get you selling your own books – that you have all the rights to – to thousands of people a month without you need to write a single word or spend much more than fifty dollars. In this book I try to show the process of hiring ghostwriters and marketing their work from a more balanced perspective than most. It covers how to get the best out of your freelancers, how to get the best out of the various online book stores and what mistakes a lot of people make when they're advertising their projects that can result in them getting below-par writers. I'll show you how to choose effective topics that will maximise your profits, we'll discuss what you can do to separate your book from the competition in the marketplace and we'll talk about what you can expect back from ghostwriter and how to make sure you get the absolute best value for money from freelancers you engage on sites like oDesk. What qualifies me to write this book? I've done it, from both sides of the coin – the ghostwriter and the book marketer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
