Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.

Success is not born out of skill, school, where we’re from, who we know, or what we scored on the SAT. None of us were born ready. None of us started life knowing how to fly a plane or launch a company or knit a sweater for our dog. But we are born with something more important than skills. We’re born with optimism - the initial seed for success. Optimism fuels the belief that you can be the one to create the good the world needs. But you’ve got to hone it. And practice it. And determine to live from it.

And I loved how she weaved in and out how Disney characters inspired her! Disney has always been a huge part of my life and to hear how the stories can push me to achieve anything is amazing!

Perfect for 6-8th grade and Mom too
I just finished listening to the audiobook of Her Universe. My daughter is homeschooled, and she’s in the sixth grade. She and I both loved listening to this book. We also got the book, in print, as it has lots of amazing pictures in it a d things to fill out. She loved reading along while we listened. My son is in 8th Grade and several times I noticed that he was listening and very interested as well. The art and photos in the book are also fun, magical and helpful. Meanwhile, I loved hearing both the story and the advice that is given.

Such a great book. Thanks Ashley for taking the time to tell your story and for standing up for Fan Girls!

Jenna Fischer's Hollywood journey began at the age of 22 when she moved to Los Angeles from her hometown of St. Louis. She was determined, confident, and ready to work hard. So, what could go wrong? Uh, basically everything. The path to being a professional actor was so much more vast and competitive than she’d imagined. It would be eight long years before she landed her iconic role on The Office, nearly a decade of frustration, rejection, and doubt. If only she’d had a handbook for the aspiring actor. Or, better yet, someone to show her the way. Jenna wants to be that person for you.
