In July 2019, the non-fiction anthology, The Way We Work: On the Job in Hollywood was published, with Ferber serving as editor, and also contributing an essay to this overview of the entertainment business. Among the list of fellow contributors—J.J. Abrams, Robert Towne, Chris Rock, Gabrielle Union, John McNaughton, David Kukoff, Nancy Nigrosh, Seth Freeman, Billy Van Zandt, and Rocky Lang. The positive response to the compilation was reflected in Midwest Book Review's assertion that "No media studies collection should be without this revealing guide, which is at once entertaining and educational."[4]
