Hello sweet things! To celebrate the launch of my second authored and illustrated picturebook BANDITS (out on 29th Sept and now available for preorder) I am going to share my long awaited video on EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT MAKING A PICTUREBOOK! In this video I discuss coming up with ideas, pitching your ideas, getting published (and what it's like to work with a publisher), book contracts, getting paid and the entire picturebook process (manuscripts, storyboards, roughs, final art, digital detailing, getting art scanned, editing, colour proofs and getting your advance copies). I hope this answers any questions you have, and makes your own journey to publishing a story easier even if it's just by knowing what to anticipate! If you have any other questions please leave them below because I eventually want to make a dedicated Q&A.
