Book excerpt: READ THIS BOOK BEFORE YOU PURSUE YOUR CHILD'S DREAM OF FAME AND FORTUNE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY. For more than twenty-five years, entertainment lawyer Sally Gaglini has helped families tackle complex legal issues as children pursue careers as musicians, songwriters, models, actors, and other artists. Using easy-to-understand language, Gaglini, also an experienced probate and family lawyer, demystifies often-confusing state laws and regulations intending to protect young performers and their earnings. This book answers real-world questions from parents of young artists: * When I spend money to promote my daughter's career, will I be reimbursed?* Why is the producer requiring me, as the parent, to sign a contract?* If my son is cast on a tour, what arrangements should I make with his school?* When my daughter earns a paycheck, how much do I set aside for her?* If I consent to my son's participation in a reality show, will he get paid? With in-depth knowledge, revealing interviews with industry professionals, and insights from former child stars and experienced parents, Young Performers at Work offers the practical guidance you need to help your child follow his or her dream and launch a safe and successful career.
