Good Information - Poor Publishing
Although I found the content very informative I was too distracted by the number of spelling and punctuation errors to take the author's advice too seriously. Although I'm quite confident that Ms. Wright knows of which she speaks in this field, it marred her credibility somewhat in my eyes that she would allow a book of this poor quality to be published under her name. And as a Canadian might I add that it's spelled "Vancouver" not "Van Couver". Hire a professional proofreader before you release another edition!

An amazing book to help you get focused
The Career Guide is an excellent book for people just starting out or those wanting to fill in the blanks of their already established careers. The information is great for those wanting to pursue a print or film/tv career. Blanks that were filled in for me after I read it were things like the sizing and style of a portfolio, the importance of promo cards and approaching agencies. These are things you would otherwise probably find out through trial and error.Speaking of errors, the book is full of them - both spelling and punctuation errors. Being a third edition I was disappointed in the lack of proof reading done. It was distracting to read ("a lot" spelled "alot") and makes an otherwise perfect book very hard to read!
Overall, despite the errors, I highly recommend this book!
