  • Tips for working with authorsΒ 
  • How picture book publishers work in general
  • Some live event illustration tips from Katie

  • ANOTHER TIP: When you're just starting out in your illustration career, you can get your work under publishers' noses by creating a digital portfolio and using social media (eg Instagram). Make the most of hashtags and connect with fellow illustrators and publishers in the industry. You never know who's watching!
