    Apr 23 2024

    This episode is JUICY. Here’s a checklist of action items if you want to put it on your studio wall and get some more eyeballs on your work.

    • Reach out to publishers directly by sending samples and requesting meetings to show your folio and get feedback
    • Send out batches of samples at a time
    • Follow up with publishers by sending new samples every 3 months
    • Research publisher websites and publications like The Writer and Artist Yearbook to find calls for submissions that match work
    • Ask other illustrators for recommendations on who provides constructive portfolio reviews (not all portfolio reviews are created equal!)
    • Consider sending thumbnail sketches and illustration samples in addition to dummy books for feedback from publishers
