Tales from Tinseltown

"A Star Is Bored" is a “making it in Hollywood” story peeking behind the curtain at the life of an assistant to the stars.

Byron Lane documents his experience as the right-hand man and main confidant to some of the most famous starlets in Tinseltown, including the late Carrie Fisher. He also allows the reader to understand the struggles that come with playing this unique role.

In "Just the Funny Parts" Nell Scovell calls for gender diversity in Hollywood, specifically recounting her experience as one of very few women in the late-night writing sphere. Following the Letterman sex scandal, the author embarks on providing insights into navigating Hollywood as a woman among mostly men and offers insights on how to thrive in your workplace — even if it’s not a Hollywood soundstage.

Scovell speaks on fighting her way to the top with humor and anecdotes to boot.

“Girl Walks Out of a Bar” recounts the author’s high-profile life and her struggle with addiction while in the public eye. She also touches on the drama of being a celebrity and the intense challenge of balancing both public and personal lives.

This story seeks to show the reader that life in Hollywood is definitely not all glitz and glamour and breaks the stigma that celebrity life is all it’s cracked up to be.
