I could have titled this article -

WILL WORK FOR PAY

No, I am not abandoning my precious blog. But I would like to get back to my first love as a talk show host in either television or radio. As an addition to what I am doing here.

So, I thought I would post a official proposal on my site and ask you if you had any ideas or connections I could pursue.

At the end of the proposal, there are a few clips from my former show. As you may know, if you have read my about page, that the show was canceled because of the death of the owner of Wisdom Television . The network was put up for sale and the new owners did not pick up any of the production of the programming that had been running for several years.

CORINNE EDWARDS INTERVIEWS

THE CONCEPT

This is a unique talk show featuring authors from the fastest growing segment of the publishing industry - Personal Growth. The category includes books on relationships, popular health, business, spirituality and motivation. Each interview focuses on the key message and essence of the book. It is a compelling learning experience targeted toward a mainstream audience.

Edwards standard instruction to each author was, “We are not preaching to the choir here. There’s a guy out there sitting on a couch in his undershirt. He has problems. If we don’t reach him, we have failed.”

THE FORMAT

The show opens with a teaser sound byte from the interview. The set gives the impression of a comfortable library with easy chairs and a fireplace. The informal half hour interview is reminiscent of the popular Charlie Rose series in that the author is a respected, successful authority in his field. The interviewer acts as a guide to brings this information forward but rarely includes a personal opinion on the content. The author is the star of the show.

THE AUDIENCE

The personal growth sector of the publishing industry is booming - with billions in domestic book sales in the last few years. These highly educated consumers are between the ages of 38 and 55. Sixty percent are women. According to a study which became the focus of the book, The Cultural Creatives, (Harmony Publishers - 2000) there are 50 million of them out there - 26% of all adult Americans. They have attained the house, portfolio, Mercedes and the 2.5 kids. They are asking the question, “Is that all there is?”

THE HOST

Corinne Edwards has been the host of a weekly cable TV program in Chicago for ten years. Her program was a featured strip series on Wisdom Television for six years. Edwards has produced and hosted more than 400 shows and is known as a seasoned professional in the personal growth field.
