epub The Real Business Guide to Classic Women's Modeling 50+

The industry is looking for women over fifty. Most of them don't know how the business works.

Over fifty is one of the most in-demand categories in modeling right now - because the households with the spending power are the ones brands spent thirty years failing to speak to, and the correction is happening now. Agencies that never carried a Classic board are building one. That does not happen out of goodwill. It happens when there is money on the table.

You are not asking an industry to make room for you. You are arriving somewhere that is already looking for you and does not have enough people who know how to work.

That last part is what this book is for.

A complete reference, not a pep talk.

Signed. Booked. Paid. Volume Five covers the Classic board end to end - fifty-two chapters written for women who are serious and have never been told how any of it actually runs.

Inside:

- What Classic really means, and why it is not an age bracket

- The three roads in - starting fresh, coming back, or transitioning off the Women's board

- Your digitals, and rebuilding a book that went cold

- Finding the right agency and the right division, and submitting cold

- Reading an agency agreement line by line before you sign it

- Thirteen kinds of work this market books - commercial print, beauty, pharmaceutical, financial, travel, catalog, fit, showroom, runway, editorial, parts, spokesperson, stock, and creator partnerships - with what each one pays and who gets cast

- Castings, self-tapes, set days, and the teams you work with

- How you actually get paid: usage, licensing, buyouts, residuals, session and holding fees

- Contracts, releases, and what to do when the money does not come

- Model protection laws, scams, and staying safe

- When to change agencies, and how to leave clean

Written by someone who has been in the room.

Lonna Drewes spent decades in this industry as a working model, a modeling agency owner, and the owner of a photo production company. She has been on both sides of the booking - submitted for the job and chosen who gets it.

She doesn't teach theory. She teaches what actually works.

Each volume stands alone.

Volume Five is part of the Signed. Booked. Paid. series, the real business guide to modeling. Ten volumes, one for each division. Read the one that fits you now.
