Editorial Review:
Every year, thousands of young men and women descend on America's largest cities to make it big in the world of modeling. Unfortunately, most of them end up disappointed because they lack the knowledge they need to work in this exciting industry.
A few do make it, though, and you can be one of those who do. In The Wilhelmina Guide to Modeling, Natasha Esch reveals all her secrets to give you the edge you need.
In this informative and illustrated manual, you'll learn about:
- How to get started and find the right agency.
- The modeling opportunities in domestic and foreign markets, including new opportunities in the plus-size, male, and ethnic segments.
- The people who make it happen, including interviews with models, photographers, and stylists.
- And much, much more.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - THE BOOK THAT TURNED THE INDUSTRY UPSIDE DOWN
Had the modeling industry edited this book it never would have gone to press as it is. It reveals the truth about agencies, the little ones, the big ones--and the obvious and not so obvious aspects of an industry that thrives off of young men and women with big dreams. The coverage of modeling in Italy is especially true to life. This book was used as evidence in a court case that changed the way agencies are allowed to treat models, what they are permitted to charge them for inclusion in agency ... Read More
Rating: - Aspiring Model
I am impressed with the amount of information this book gave. It really guides you step by step & made me realize that even though I'm short(5'2), I can still make it in beauty, print, petite & junior/teen modeling.
Rating:  - Basic advice.... little real information..
This book had no real advice. Most of it was just common sense advice any person shold know. Seemed geared for 15 year old girls only.
Rating: - Very little substance.
Essentially this book, with its large fonts and generous helpings of superfluous pictures, contained scant information about the modeling industry. The pages are just filled with very shallow and unsubstantiated statements such as, "Your agent will navigate your career, setting in motion a business and promotional plan geared to market fully your unique looks and talent", with no further elaboration. Take for example its chapter on "Ethinic Modeling". It glazes over the subject on how its such ... Read More
Rating:  - this is why models have management
Like many models getting started in the business, I didn't know which way to turn. The hardest part is to qualify clients and to only work with those that will keep the image of you that you would like to promote in the market place. This book really doesn't outline this aspect of the industry. Good management is what got me a blossoming career in this business. Thanks to Digital White Boy Management, http://www.digitalwhiteboy.com , I've made it in this industry.
