FREE video series: How to pitch your very own arty book
Non-fiction illustrated books, or arty books, are an amazing source of income for artists, crafters, illustrators, writers, designers, photographers and more – basically anyone who is passionate about a hobby or an interest.
Let Lilla show you how you can build a career in writing and illustrating gorgeous arty books, like these by Lisa Congdon, who was formerly represented by Lilla.
You don’t need to be an expert to write your own arty book: you just need to care about something you want to share. And you don’t need to be a writer either – think about craft how tos, illustrated journals or books of illustrated quotations.
Want an example? Here’s art agent Lilla Rogers talking about A Year of Weeks, which was written and illustrated by Erica Root. Erica is a Make Art That Sells student who is now represented by Lilla Rogers Studio after Lilla fell in love with her art in class, and A Year of Weeks was agented by Lilla.
Lilla shares some of the pages from A Year of Weeks, written and illustrated by Erica Root and agented by Lilla. Get inspired with examples of different ways of laying out the pages of your book. Watch below.
Lilla loves to mentor creative people, and now she’s poured everything she knows about writing and illustrating arty books into her brand new course, My Arty Book Pitch, so you can learn how simple and rewarding pitching your very own non-fiction illustrated book can be.
