"My partner and I have an option on the table and this seminar
really put our minds at ease and answered a ton of questions." -ZG, producer "I found it extremely motivating and yet grounded in a realism about the process and challenges of selling a reality product." -Walt O., producer "The seminar was especially helpful for the differences between reality and scripted TV." -Carole B., producer "You Rock!

Hi, I'm DMA, and I'm a reality TV show runner. (If you are not sure what a "show runner" is, I'm glad you've find your way to my book!)
 Over the past two years, my production company's Show Starter™ service has trained industry insiders at the Producers Guild of
America, the Writers Guild of America and many film fests, professional groups and schools nationwide. From
private training sessions to standing-room-only panels offering tips from top level reality producers, production company reps and network executives, we have provided
unparalleled access to how the reality TV process really works.
I've answered many questions during, after and between my seminars, and I'm proud now to offer this front-to-back guide of how to create and pitch a sellable reality show. |

"Can't thank you enough for the amazing information you
imparted to us at the seminar. I've recounted the
quality of the panel to others as well because of how
many different ends of the spectrum were represented." -Shoshanna E., producer "Thank you so much for the amazing lecture, it was so informative." -Mary P., producer "Skeptically, I came in to answer my biggest questions. They were answered. Awesome!" -Bill P., producer "This was great. DMA was fabulous." -Victoria F., producer "Obama/DMA 2012 - I'll write campaign speeches!" -Peter D., producer |

Over the past ten years, I have written, produced
and run dozens of non-fiction shows for networks including Bravo, TLC, A&E, UPN and more. My shows have set record ratings for CBS, Travel Channel and BET, with top level credits ranging from Star Search to Queer Eye for the Straight Girl to my company's own show, Remixed! Before I began overseeing series, I was a "rescue producer," revitalizing struggling shows and meeting impossible deadlines
at some of the biggest companies in the reality business. I know how reality TV is created, shopped and sold, and I'm sharing that critical information in this book, including:
"I am still coasting on the natural high from your seminar. Thank you."

-Susanne L., Producer "So much great info!" -Heather K. "I definitely learned a heap... Very cool that you all took time out from your very busy schedules to help newbies." -Alison H., producer "Keep them coming, great seminars." -Al G., producer "Keep them coming!" -Allan S., producer
