“As a local (Atlanta, GA) supervisor I've reached out to her 3 times in the past month, and each of her recommendations was wonderful! Experienced, helpful, and hit the ground running. I'm only looking for a 3rd person bc the first 2 were so great I recommended them for full time positions when fellow supervisors asked! Having Marcella to ask for PA names had saved me tons of time and stress.
So for anyone interested in getting into the costumes department, I highly recommend purchasing her book; it clearly does a good job of teaching what you need to know. It's also a great way to start the networking process and get that first job. Thanks Marcella!!!” — Leslie Acton

“This book is exactly what I was looking for. After a lot of research, I found there isn't a lot of information or resources on how exactly to start a career in costumes in the film industry. How To: Succeed as a Costume Production Assistant has prepped me with valuable knowledge of what is expected as a costume production assistant, and I am confident I will do the job far better now than I would have without this book!” — Kailey S.

“Purchasing this Ebook is a worthwhile investment for any costume PA just starting out or trying to improve their value in their current department. Especially for myself, a new Georgia resident interested in working with costumes and wardrobes for the film and television industry, I found it helpful in acclimating to my new surroundings. In this book, a reader should expect to find both logical and sound instruction to the entry level costume department position and a great number of insider tips to mastering the PA role, keeping it safe, and being the most efficient and memorable worker. You no longer have to fear jumping into to the job blind, this book is here to help!” — Tina Battaglia

“I am so glad this book exists. As someone coming into the industry this is a great resource to share some of the ins and outs of working as a PA in the wardrobe department. I feel because of the awesome job Marcella did in writing the book, I can go on jobs organized, prepared, and focused. This is a must have tool.” — Christina

“I hesitated before purchasing this book because of the price point and also how we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. However, every couple of days, I would find myself back at this website! My curiosity finally won the battle and I purchased this book on a whim. This book was a quick read, I finished it in one sitting! It was so encouraging and gave me hope that I can succeed in this industry. I 100% believe that when I finally get called to work as a Costume PA, I will know exactly what is going to happen and can take on any task given to me. I’m happy I decided to use this quarantine to enhance my skillset as a costume pa. Thanks, Marcella!” — Anonymous

“I purchased your ebook back in October before I started my first full time costume PA job. I just wanted to let you know how much it helped me to prepare and ease my nerves. I’ve honestly learned so much from this book & I really appreciate the time you put into it.” — M. P

“I believe this book will help anyone who wants the help from it! Green or not. Before I landed my first wardrobe PA job I read through this book twice. Just to really soak it in! I was nervous for the first job and we all know that first impressions matter. I wanted to know a little of what I was in for and be prepared! This book helped ease my nerves immensely and I'm grateful for it! Everything Marcella goes over well-equips you plus also helps you not get taken advantage of which is really important! I highly recommend this book to others! It helps ease the mind and it prepares you just as much as you want it to!” — C.S
