A great foreword—sometimes—is even better than the book it precedes.
So why not skip the boring actual-book part?
Moving Foreword is a collection of introductions to imaginary books, written by real celebrities, comedians, musicians, and other writers with something to say. With a real foreword by Rainn Wilson, this book offers a no-holds-barred cacophony of laugh-out-loud funny, poignant, and thought-provoking writing that tackles everything from politics to pop culture, true crime to trout fishing, and Star Wars to skin flicks.
Highlights include:
Foreword by "Pop Candy" columnist Whitney Matheson
Foreword by "Bruce Springsteen" (Phil Rosenthal)
Foreword by Shirley Manson, lead vocalist of Garbage
Foreword by actor Thomas Lennon
Foreword by Vance DeGeneres
Foreword by New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight
Foreword by talk show host Jerry Springer
Foreword by John Ondrasik, a.k.a. Five for Fighting
Foreword by singer-songwriter Mary Lambert
. . . any many more!

About the Author
Jon Chattman has jokingly told Tom Cruise to stop hitting on his wife, enjoyed a Reuben sandwich with Randy ""Macho Man"" Savage, and somehow ignited Snoop Dogg to sing Dean Martin's ""That's Amore."" Those are just some highlights in this writer/author, marketing expert, online entertainment host, talent buyer, blogger, and man-of-many-hats's career. Chattman, who is currently chief creative officer and president of Moving Forward Consulting, has an extensive background in the entertainment field, specializing in interviewing and writing about those in the music, film, and television worlds. He has covered various red carpets―from the Academy Awards to the Indie Spirits to the Tony Awards―and interviewed an eclectic mix of celebrities, including Courtney Love, Alice Cooper, Javier Bardem, Aaron Sorkin, Hulk Hogan, and Tracy Morgan. In August 2011, he launched an online music and entertainment series, A-Sides, which featured established and on-the-rise musicians performing a song or two and taking part in an informal conversation afterwards. It debuted on thisisasides.com and has appeared on the Huffington Post, Inked magazine, and USAtoday.com.
Chattman has authored many pop culture, sports, and wrestling centric books, including How the Red Sox Explain New England (Triumph Books, 2013), Superfly: The Jimmy Snuka Story (Triumph, 2012), and Sweet Stache (Adams Media, 2009.) He resides in Westchester County, New York, with his wife, Alison, and three young children. His hobbies include binge watching Netflix shows, going to the movies, Star Wars, the beach, listening to Bon Iver and pre–Everything Now Arcade Fire, and he is trying desperately to sever his phone from his hand.
