I'm thrilled that a book like this exists to help new artists learn that assisting is one of the most important roles in an artist's career.
What is Assisting?
​
An assisting job is when you assist a Key/Senior artist, who works within the areas of interest you have always wanted Fashion, Magazines, Beauty, Print, Film and Celebrity.
It’s on-the-job training very much like interning. You are there to assist on sets and gigs to gain valuable experience to enrich your career.
WHY ASSIST?
Ever wonder what goes on when working in magazines, fashion, print, film, with celebrities but couldn’t get in the room to see? Assisting a Key Artist gets you in that room, and gives you those secrets you’ve always wanted to know. It allows you to gain invaluable knowledge while you’re working.
How can I
become an assistant?
Ahhhhhh now that’s the million-dollar question. Much like a college intern where you can source jobs via their networks when it comes to assisting in the "industry" of fashion/beauty/magazine/film etc., those jobs aren’t always listed. In other words, if you want to assist, you will have to go about finding those opportunities on your own.
Assisting Rules tells you how and so much more. It prepares you for the day and everything leading up to and after. It is the bible of assisting
“I believe luck is preparation meeting opportunity. If you hadn't been prepared when the opportunity came along, you wouldn't have been lucky.” OPRAH WINFREY

Why Assisting Rules?
Author DeShawn Hatcher says she wrote the book because of the reticence of many professionals to offer advice when she was a beginner. The term “figure it out on your own,” was her kryptonite and moved her to dedicate time and energy to teaching and mentoring those looking to dive into the business of assisting. “Assisting is the job that everyone needs, but so few know how to effectively go about landing,” says Hatcher. She has shared her experiences on the speakers’ circuit and has a YouTube live channel where she sometimes fields questions and gives helpful tips to freelancers.
