Every parent sees a star in their child. Not every parent knows how to protect them.
The modeling and talent industry promises bright lights, big opportunities, and the chance to turn your child's dreams into reality. What it doesn't advertise are the scams, the predators, the overpriced photo shoots, and the contracts designed to separate hopeful families from their hard-earned money.
Stars in Their Eyes: How to Navigate the Modeling & Talent Industry Without Getting Burned is the insider's guide every family deserves before taking a single step into this world.
Written by Karla Coleman, an Atlanta-based Talent Manager with decades of industry experience as a runway model, agency receptionist, IMTA Director, and one of the career architects for young talent including Josh Duhamel, Brenda Song, and Cailey Fleming, this book gives parents the unvarnished truth about how the industry actually works and exactly what it takes to navigate it wisely, safely, and without breaking the bank.
Inside you will discover how to tell the difference between a legitimate agency and a pay-to-play scam, what headshots and training actually cost and what you should never pay for, how to find and evaluate reputable agents in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta, what every parent must know about contracts, commissions, and the 360 deal, how to protect your child's earnings through the Coogan Law and proper financial planning, when conventions like IMTA and IPOP are worth the investment and when they are not, and how to keep your child safe from predators at every stage of their career.
Whether your child is four years old and putting on living room performances or a teenager with serious professional ambitions, Stars in Their Eyes is the only guide you need to protect their dream, their safety, and your wallet.
