FREE video series and announcing Lilla’s NEW course 👀

Giant announcement! Brand NEW course for 2023! My Arty Book Pitch is the creative person’s guide to making a gorgeous image-driven book proposal, by top art agent and author, Lilla Rogers. Some of the gorgeous illustrated non-fiction books that Lilla shares in the video below. What is an arty book? It’s anything that’s art-driven (whether illustrations, photographs or anything else) and stunning to look at: it may be practical too, but you would also find yourself picking it up and flicking through the pages just because it’s so damn pretty. It doesn’t have to contain many words at all – perhaps it’s a collection of illustrated quotations, or sketches of flowers and their medicinal uses, or a journal with prompts, or some pages from your sketchbook from your year living out of a campervan – art agent Lilla will give you tons more ideas, suggestions and inspiration in class.
