From the Author
My purpose for writing MODELMANIA is, 1)...To ease one's introduction to the modeling industry by providing them with comprehensive, accurate information and contacts, 2)...To provide a solid base from which to start from in as little time and with as little money as possible, 3) To provide a highly cost-efficient, all-inclusive guide for success in the modeling industry, and 4) To provide a welcome alternative to the bogus, rip-off schools, agencies & individuals that prey on unknowing, innocent souls.
This one guide above all others is by far the most powerful, informative, single source of information on the subject of modeling you will find. The biggest reason I know this is true, aside from my experience and the valuable sources, is the complete honesty from which this work is based. It's true, we all want to hear that we are wanted...that we will be successful...that we will be big stars...that we have the right look. The only sure confirmation of any of those statements will come when a client is willing to pay you for those services...when you get the check in the mail!
I write and speak from a factual point of view based on over 14 years of experience and success. I have attempted to give you the pros and cons the industry may potentially offer you. In no way do I hide the reality of the business. I have simply given you the unique perspective of being on the inside looking out. Hopefully, through this publication, based on my experience gained by my personal success & body of work, you can make better decisions, avoid more mistakes, and waste less time and money in the pursuit of your individual dreams. I wish you all the success in the world. Good Luck!
