The First Ten Years: (A Philosophical and Practical Guide to Creative Longevity)

Following her story from failed auditions to major stage success and all the day jobs in between, Romano uses her ten years of field research as a New York City actor to understand what it takes to make it in any creative career.

Blending anecdotes, creative philosophy and practical tips, each chapter ends with a set of questions and guided reflection designed to push the reader to uncover his or her own creative philosophy – a philosophy that will ultimately serve as a loyal guide toward the reader's own creative longevity and fortitude.
