Kim wrote the book because the same questions kept arriving in her inbox, usually from parents who had already been badly advised. The classes grew out of the conversations it started.
A parent's handbook for the world of child performing. What an agent does and does not do, how much a good one should cost, how auditions and self tapes really work, what a chaperone is for, and how to spot the companies that make money from parents rather than from casting.
It is written the way Kim talks: directly, without hype, and on the assumption that you would rather know than be flattered.
For a lot of children the honest answer is not yet, or not ever, and there is nothing wrong with that. The book walks through what representation is actually for and what it changes.
Commission, what it is charged on, and the fees that should make you walk away. If someone asks you for money up front, the book explains why that matters.
Who sees the tape, what they are looking at, how long they watch for, and what your child can control.
Licences, chaperones, hours, tutoring on set, and what a production is legally obliged to provide.
The questions to ask any agency, school or company before you hand over your child's details, and the answers that should worry you.
Fifteen honest questions to work through together, drawn straight from the book. Eight for your child, seven for you.
Most families discover the answer is “not yet”, and that is a genuinely useful thing to find out before you spend anything.From the self check
It lives on the KTTA site, because that is the question it answers.
