Producer Ken Davenport Publishes HOW TO SUCCEED IN THE ARTS... OR IN ANYTHING Book

Tony Award-winning Producer Ken Davenport announces the release of his new book "How to Succeed in the Arts . . . Or in Anything," which is now available on Lulu.com.

If you've imagined being a Producer or a Writer...an Actor or a Director...or a real estate investor, hedge fund dude, or even a world champion poker player...you can do it, as long as you have the right directions. And I'd like to share those directions with you...the directions that took me years to gather, but the directions that are without a doubt responsible for getting me where I am today...and more importantly, will be 101% responsible for where I want to be tomorrow. And I know that they can do the same for you.

Ken Davenport says, "In my new book I talk about how I almost didn't get started producing shows, and how one man's words (you know him) kicked me in the entrepreneurial ass and helped me develop a sure-fire system to get anything done. It's the same system that I use to this day, that has helped me do everything that I've done in my career, from produce Spring Awakening, to crowdfund Godspell, to live stream Daddy Long Legs, create my board game, shoot a pilot and even write the book itself."

Ken Davenport is a Broadway producer whose credits include Deaf West Theatre's Spring Awakening (Tony nomination), It's Only a Play, Macbeth starring Alan Cumming, Godspell, Kinky Boots (Broadway - Tony Award, National Tour, Toronto, Australia, and West End), The Visit (Tony nomination), Mothers and Sons (Tony nomination), The Bridges of Madison County (National Tour), Allegiance, Chinglish, Oleanna starring Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles, Speed-the-Plow, Will Ferrell's You're Welcome America (Tony nomination), Blithe Spirit starring Angela Lansbury (Broadway, West End and National Tour), and 13.

Ken's unique production and marketing style has garnered him international attention, including two front page articles in the NY Times and features on MSNBC, Rock Center, Fox News, BBC, and his favorite, a mention in Jay Leno's monologue on "The Tonight Show." Named one of Crain's "40 Under Forty," Ken is one of the co-founders of TEDxBroadway, and was featured on a national commercial for Apple's iPhone.
