Frederick moved to Los Angeles, California where he worked for one of Hollywood’s most prestigious public relation firms before starting his own firm, Frederick & Associates. Known by some of Hollywood’s elite as The Zookeeper of Hollywood, Frederick has relentlessly pursued some of the most notorious celebrities in Hollywood in order to help them in restoring their public image by the way of PR support, addiction/treatment support.

The author of the book, David Rudduck is the former American Red Cross Communication & Government Relations Director and Press Secretary for the Governor of Illinois. Rudduck is launching a crowdfunding campaign for his new crisis communication book, The Nonprofit Guide to Crisis Communications.

Rudduck will be running his campaign with Pubslush, a global crowdfunding platform only for books.
