Fantastic-very informative!

This book was so helpful and covers every aspect of breaking into the modeling business one could imagine. It is also very encouraging and positive. Especially good for guidance in what kind of photos to submit to agencies and how the whole system works. After reading this book, I feel I am on my way to fulfilling a dream I have had for a long time. Thank you, Judy Goss!!

The ONLY book on modeling you will ever need!

What a Godsend this book has been for me! I always had the desire and "stats" but never the information and/or direction I've needed to break into the modeling business. Thanks to Judy Goss and her book, I have finally been able to achieve my dream. I now have an agent and have begun working thanks to carefully following the advice in this book, (which is comprehensive and easy for the layperson to understand!) It's a MUST READ If you want to be a model in any capacity! A bestseller, to be sure! Laura S, -Model

The Real Deal!

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!

a MUST READ

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!
