Woo hoo – Lilla’s exciting new LIVE five week course, My Arty Book Pitch, starts TODAY – and you can sign up now with a fantastic 25% discount or save up to 45% when you buy as part of a bundle!
According to research data and analytics group WordsRated, nonfiction print books account for 45.5% of book sales in the US, with the global nonfiction book market projected to reach $16.61 billion by 2026. Get a part of it with My Arty Book Pitch!
Lilla created this class based on the trends she’s seeing as a busy international art agent – she knows that illustrated non-fiction books are a huge art market right now, and as an educator she knows how to lead you step-by-step through the pitching process in a way that’s playful and motivating, so you build your pitch without even noticing – and then BOOM! You’re done!
Here’s your teacher: art agent, former illustrator, author and educator, Lilla Rogers.
And don’t forget that she’ll be picking one student from class and working on their arty book pitch with them in a LIVE private 1:1!
You’ll get weekly LIVE reviews in class, and agent Lilla will be looking at every single piece of art submitted to the class gallery before the deadline. Then, she’ll be picking one student at the end of class to meet on their book pitch for a private (supportive and enthusiastic!) 45-minute consultation.
I just like to make things by Lilla Rogers. Let Lilla show you how you can write, illustrate and pitch your very own arty book!
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity – sign up now at 25% off and a chance for a personal review with Lilla.
