About the book

You know what it's like.

A comment here, a closed door there, turning a blind eye to get ahead.

My name is Sarah Lai. You won't have heard of me. A decade ago I was on the cusp of being a big deal. But that was a long time ago. Now, instead of working in Hollywood, I teach students about it.

And these are the two most important lessons you need to know about the film industry:

1) Those with the money have all the power.
2) Those with the power get whatever they want.

Ignore these rules and the whole system will crumble.
Stick to the rules and you'll succeed. But at what cost?
Ask yourself, what would you have done?

About the author 

Winnie M Li is an author and activist. Her latest novel COMPLICIT draws upon her earlier career in the film industry and was selected by The New York Times for their monthly book club. A Harvard graduate, she won The Guardian’s Not the Booker Prize with her debut novel DARK CHAPTER and was shortlisted for an Edgar Award. Driven by her own personal experience of rape, she founded Clear Lines, the UK's first festival addressing sexual assault and consent through the arts and discussion.  She also began her PhD research at the London School of Economics and received an honorary doctorate from the National University of Ireland in recognition of her work. Winnie lives in the English countryside, with her partner and toddler.
