Thanks for the opportunity to share our work!

Last year I illustrated the book 'Amazing Race' for author Kate Hernandez and publisher Salt & Light Publishing:

And I previously illustrated 'The Big Rescue Bible' for Bible Society Australia:

A few years before that, before I discovered SVS, I illustrated a version of Black Beauty for QED Publishing too:

Hi Forum! I finished the final art for my first picture book in April, and the publisher released the cover last month. Imagine a Wolf (Page Street Kids 2021) will be out in the world January 12, 2021, distributed by Macmillan.

SVS Learn continues to be an integral part of my first-book journey. I discovered 3 Point Perspective when I was still in the rough thumb stage - the podcast totally fed my process and helped me immensely. There is always something in the conversation relevant to what I’m doing or thinking about (or should be doing/thinking about!)…and now I’ve been an SVA member for a couple of months and I’m loving the forum, monthly prompts and classes. Thank you!

Superhero Children's Book I worked on this children's book over the summer.

[danielerossi]

Do the books have to be published after starting an SVS course? I’m assuming yes

[MOO]

@danielerossi Well, to be honest, I guess anyone can publish a book but taking the classes makes the illustrator improve. I self publish on Amazon and the classes have really helped but, I can see a lot of places I can improve on myself. Finishing a book is a great learning tool to. You can see where you need help

[LisaF]

Wow, so cool to see all these! Let's keep this thread going If you have a published children's book out in the world, or know of a fellow SVSLearn student who has one, let us know!

The first picture book I illustrated in English is out this September. Very Excited for this one.

I have one Picture book in Norwegian came out in 2020:
https://www.cappelendamm.no/_babysang---rim-regler-og-sanger-for-de-minste-9788202659189

The book did OK. I received my first loyalty report right before the summer holiday :-), very cool. I was also commissioned to do another book with similar concept for the same publisher. I just wrapped up the project before the summer holiday, and the book is coming out this September as well :-).

And here is another book that will also be out this September.

Personally, I have a very mixed feeling about the last book. But as Jake Parker always says "finished, not perfect".
Right now, I moved on to the next picture book which will be a non-fiction book. I am also writing my own picture book, a completely new adventure.

I also did a book cover art and some interior work for a YA fantasy novel.
https://www.cappelendamm.no/_tankespinneren-vibeke-koehler-9788202628932

The book got some attention in the country, and I have seen the book poping up around in the city, and around social media and news paper/magazine reviews. It was really cool to see. Unfortunately, there is no tradition to have the illustrator´s name on the cover (I have asked for this, but the AD said "sorry, we can not do that"). So I did not get much benefit from it apart from being happy to see the book around
