For nearly five decades, Peter Glenn Publications has been the leading resource for models, actors and industry professionals, alike. Often, magazines, local Consumer Protection Boards and even the Better Business Bureau have enlisted PGP's assistance in seeking information about the modeling industry.

How would you find a legitimate modeling agency?
You could go to your local yellow pages but...

Phone companies will list anyone who pays them...Peter Glenn Publications requires modeling and talent agencies, scouting companies and conventions to submit background information in order to be considered for a listing.  Those entities that meet the PGP standard of approval are listed annually in the Model & Talent Directory - currently, PGP has relationships with 2,400 agencies worldwide and last year sold over 20,000 copies of the directory.  To get your copy or to see the extensive list of other how-to guides, directories or modeling portfolios, check out the Ultimate Models Bookstore.

"Every one of our agents has a copy and refers to it daily!"
Wendy Ford, Ford Models, New York

This free 4-page guide, Modeling - The Things You Need To Know, provides sound advice for any aspiring talent interested in pursuing a career either locally or across the world. This guide gives you background information, while outlining the proper procedure to interview with an agency as well as discusses discovery opportunities through scouting companies like ProScout, modeling conventions, internet outlets and explains the difference between them all of them.

"No matter what your level of interest, you should do your homework and check out each opportunity carefully. The modeling industry is a wonderful glamourous industry; but there are people who will take advantage of you...if you are not careful. This is the reason we created the So You Want To Be A Model Contest."
Gregory James, Executive Producer, ESB Productions

This pamplet was co-written by the Executive Producer, Gregory James, of the So You Want To Be A Model Contest, who is also the Publisher at Peter Glenn Publications and Marie Anderson, the author of MODEL - The Complete Guide for Men and Women.
