The book is being written but people have questions


What qualifies you to write this book anyway? Who is Nave Fall?
See my SL profile. I will elaborate on this more soon.

Who are the primary collaborators helping with this project?
Model's Workshop - Founder Monica Balut and, her talented 2nd in command, Herradurra Baar. have both stepped up with ideas, criticisms and, full copies of all the Balut Modeling tools and technical support far beyond what I could have expected in my wildest dreams.

TnT Modeling - Tia Ryba CEO has offered full backing, and support, from TnT. I am the Chief Operations Officer of TnT btw and if you have gripes about Nave's behavior you can contact her.

Katherine Comet - SL Entrepeneur, Owner of Hearts Desire, Supermodel, Builder, and Nave's constant inspiration has provided a furnished skybox, access to her PhotoLife3 photostudio for shoots, and use of her THINCBook to publish early work. If you have gripes with Nave you can contact her also. Good luck with that...................

Kay Fairey - Former CEO of Evane, Fashion Editor of BOSL, with a bio that goes on for 2 pages has been a invaluable resource and, also, serves as my conscience when I get snarky about someone.

Who is editing it? We'll tell you soon

Who is photographing it? Antonia Muggins of Iconia is the OFFICIAL photographer

Can I see the cover? Nooooooo. Not yet. Relax

Who is doing the post-production, photoshop, work on this? Antonia will decide on this person

How far along are you in writing this? I am writing everyday now. I've outlined the book and it is tentatively 16 chapters long. I'd say I am half done

When will this book be finished? I hoped September 2009. It's going to be longer. Hopefully not a lot longer. We may tantalize you with interim glimpses in here

Where is the Model's Survival Manual located in SL? SLurl Farwaway Cove 174, 65, 25

How do I join the Model's Survival Group (MSG)? It's open enrollment. Just do it.

What is the, "My Faire Lady" makeover contest? The 3rd blog post has the rulez. I will also post the rules in the Model's survival Group Notices. They have been posted on the Starwalkers and Model's Looking For Work groups already

How do I enter it? Write the notecards and drop them at the MSG office. Amuse us

Can I help with this project somehow? I'm interviewing models, agency owners, trainers, event planners/directors and photographers now. My approach to this is to give each interview candidate a "basic" questionaire which I ask that they fill out for me and return. This allows me to prep for our face to face meeting. At that point, when we actually meet, the interview goes freeform. I never know where it will wind up it's like a TV talk show, questions get asked. jokes told. looks exchanged. If you like the idea of being interviewed for this IM nave Fall in-world.

I think this is enough for now.

More soon........................

I'm just,

Nave
