Because it is based
on Burt’s more than 30 years of personal, hands-on experience
in creating and producing slide shows and presentations of every kind
for companies such as RCA, DuPont, Scott Paper, Lees Carpets and AC
Spark Plug, this book can bring huge benefits to its readers.
It offers writers both freelancers as well as writers who are employed
by companies and elsewhere far bigger income than they can earn writing
other material. It can make wxecutives, government and military officials
much more valuable.
How To DIG FOR SLIDE SHOW GOLD is brim-full of examples,
ideas and case histories from actual Slide Shows. In great detail, the
Author tells you how to create presentations that lift audiences to
their feet in standing ovations; how to develop themes, titles, story
treatments, write scripts, capture visuals, use animation, record narration,
music. And how to build a business around both Custom Slide Shows and
Stock, Ready-To-Use Shows. Some Chapters cover such ground as: 17 successful
story treatments; why audiences sit on their hands; 26 ways to captivate
audience eyes and ears; how to visualize your scripts as you write them;
the story board: visuals in the rough help smooth out the wrinkles;
and, research: soaking up facts and flavors. Other Chapters include:
writing proposals and cost estimates; how to use clipart; how to create
on your client’s money; and, the presentation make a good show
of it.
One reader said
the following about the original book, published by Writer's Digest:
Dear Mr. Close: A few weeks ago I purchased your book How To Create
Super Slide Shows. It is so enlightening I could not resist
writing to you. I have never read a book that was so thorough, with
more explicit instructions, more alternatives, and more answers to logical,
unasked questions. It is remarkable. For the past seven or eight years
I have been making travelogues of our trips just for personal satisfaction.
Many things in your book I had to learn the hard way. I had searched
high and low for a book like yours. Now I have learned that I can use
your book to polish our past trips as well as our future trips. Respectfully,
(H. B., West Liberty, OH)
