Petite Model, Author and Self-Promotion Pro Isobella Jade On The Menu

If you’re among the hundreds of people cut from media jobs this fall, take inspiration from the story of Isobella Jade. The petite model wrote a memoir while standing in heels in the Apple store in SoHo, then self-promoted the heck out of it until she got an agent, dumped her, and self-published the book herself. As she’s continued to model, she’s launched a successful brand, parlaying her fame into a popular podcast, an advice blog and a new graphic novel.
