New Reality TV Show "Book Millionaire" Announces Casting Call
Authors seeking publisher to publish fiction or non-fiction may apply for the fall 2005 season.
New York, NY (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) April 13, 2005 -- "Book Millionaire," a new reality TV show featuring authors seeking to publish fiction or non-fiction, announces an open casting call
for the show's debut season airing fall 2005. Eight people who want to become
published writers or achieve best-selling celebrity status will meet with the
"Book Millionaire" Publisher Committee in August 2005 to begin filming. The
application deadline is July 31, 2005; applications and details are available at
www.bookmillionaire.com now.
Host and Executive Producer Lori Prokop explained, "Successful authors are
often interesting, unconventional people. Best-selling and celebrity status
happens for authors because they have unique or entertaining ideas, writings and
stories. They also have the abilities and personalities to get the attention of
the readers. In addition to achieving best-selling status, this also makes for
great TV."
"Book Millionaire" will feature candidate authors with
varying experience from all walks of life. Whether looking to publish fiction or
non-fiction, self-published and unpublished writers as well as those with rough
manuscripts and book ideas are encouraged to apply.
The number of new
books published per year has skyrocketed from 50,000 in 1985 to near 200,000 in
2004, many written by first-time writers. As famous book clubs like the Oprah
Winfrey Book Club have given writers incredible success, the public's interest
in how to become a best-selling author has increased dramatically in a short
period of time. It is estimated that for every new, published author, there are
five other writers trying to make it. Combine the 1,000,000 writers a year
interested in becoming published with the established appeal of reality TV and
"Book Millionaire" is positioned to become the next big reality TV show hit.
In the first season, the candidates will be placed on multiple teams to
compete in real-world book promotion assignments featuring prominent companies
and currently published titles. Viewers will watch the drama unfold as the tests
reveal the candidates’ personalities, marketing skills, creativity,
result-producing talents and team-working abilities. The Publisher Committee,
comprised of publishing and information product experts, will measure the
success of these tasks.
"The mysterious veil of publishing will be
lifted," Prokop continued. "Viewers will experience first-hand how best-selling
authors are created. The real-life, how-to-publish information delivered in this
highly entertaining way is going to make it happen for candidate authors and
viewers alike."
