Imagine writing your very own gorgeous illustrated book and sharing something you’re passionate about with the world – maybe your collection of 60s Bakelite jewellery or all the weird fungi that grow in the woods at the back of your house or your sketchbook from that summer you spent driving down the Atlantic coast or your fabulous subversive feminist cross stitch patterns – basically whatever makes your weird little heart beat fastest.

The illustrated non-fiction book – or arty book – market is absolutely huge, and it’s perfect for creative people just like you. Arty books are a brilliant way to derive income and expand your creative career, even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer – think of books of illustrated quotations, guided journals, craft how tos and more. (And the good news is that you don’t need to be a great writer: you only need to be passionate about your topic. Plus you don’t need to write the whole book to pitch it – Lilla will explain more in class.)
