* And much more.
Judy's expert advice will guide aspiring models of any age through the process of finding representation with a reputable agency or manager, and it provides a valuable resource to fall back on even after models start working. This comprehensive, step-by-step guide is the only book you'll need to launch the career of your dreams.

This book is a MUST READ! Not only is the information great for multiple users: aspiring models, parents, agents, managers....but Judy's expertise, honesty, and genuine tone of voice - as well as her honesty - make it informative and pleasant from start to finish.

As a fashion publicist I would recommend this to people who are hoping to head down that difficult road - with Judy's help you have a guide through what otherwise could be an expensive and arduous journey!

Excellent book! Judy Goss tells it like it really is. She is straightforward, honest and gives accurate, step-by-step instructions on breaking into (and staying in) the world of modeling.

Drawing from 20 years experience, she reveals industry secrets that help the reader learn how to avoid costly scams, what the top agencies look for, how to assess the type of model you are, best ways to find local and foreign representation and much, much more.

I highly recommend this book for aspiring and working models of any age and for parents of kids interested in modeling. There is so much to learn and this book teaches it all!

I have been approached constantly in malls and have always wondered what it would take to be a model. This book was EXTREMELY informative and has really helped me to pursue my goal of becoming a model. My mother always told me that it was too expensive to create a portfolio and to get noticed, but thanks to this book I now know the do's and don'ts of trying to break into modeling. Thanks so much to Judy Goss for sharing all of her secrets with everyone!
