Once a month I do an email series called Creative Breakthrough for paid subscribers.

This month, the topic is an illustration portfolio for kidlit. Every month I mentor aspiring illustrators from around the world I’ll share some of the mistakes I’ve seen as well as the most sought after advice from these 1-1 sessions.

I build my own portfolio over hundreds of hours or toil while learning from the very best in the industry. Often they’ve given contradictory advice. I share what has worked for me to help me sign on to illustrate do 15 books in 4 years.

If you’re not yet a paid subscribers you can sign up to be in this and future session, as well as unlocking sessions on building a bestselling substack, and getting publishing work you love.

If you’re already subscribed, sign up for tomorrow’s live session here…
