Debut Picture Book Thanks to SVS & Children's Book Pro!
-
In September 2021, I took the EXTENSIVE Children's Book Pro course from @Jake-Parker @Lee-White @Will-Terry It was packed with info and homework. I worked my butt off, and the course gave me the confidence, prepped my portfolio work for an agent (I landed in Nov 2022), and more importantly helped me with the process through my first picture book job (contract June 2023) of character designs, interior sketches, final art, the cover design and notes and notes and notes. Children's Book Pro is absolutely worth the price and time.
Here's the cover to my debut book from Little Press Publishing out this fall!
