a MUST READ July 22, 2008 Sabina Ptacin (new york city) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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!
