What Parents are Saying

Everything you need for your Child Performer in one place!

I really enjoyed this book! As the parent of someone who was once a “Young Performer” in the music industry, I always felt prepared but often learned the hard way about all the ups and downs families can encounter during such an exciting rollercoaster ride. If this book had been available then, we would have saved a great deal of money and time. “Young Performers at Work” is an outstanding guide for artists, performers, and their parents at any and all points along the journey to stardom. Sally Gaglini’s years of experience as well as her ability to tie her legal expertise with real-life stories of people we know of and some we may never hear about makes this a very interesting piece to keep in your toolbox. Great chapters on education, taxes, talent management, and more cover so much ground and truly make this THE reference guide.

 

A Must Read!

Wow! This is THE BIBLE on what to look out for when dealing with young talent. I only wish I had this at my fingertips when I was considering having my child model at a young age. Sally Gaglini gives you real first-hand knowledge and remarkable insight about cultivating the child performer —from scams, tactics, protections, money and contract issues and so much more. I learned so much. A very enjoyable read for those who are not working with young talent but are curious about the entertainment industry and how how child stars have fared in the past (Shirley Temple, Paul Petersen, etc.) and how they’re doing in the present. Well done!

 

Success!

Once a child performer & model myself, I found this book so interesting. Now as a mother, with a talented & eager child, I found this book a critical read. Thank you for all of the information and devotion to this field. We are far more prepared than we ever thought we could be!!
