The picture book market is huge and really hot right now! Lilla’s art agency, Lilla Rogers Studio, is getting multiple commissions for their artists from editors and art directors. Parents and children are looking for the connection of reading picture books together, and the emphasis on home education is also boosting children’s book sales: put them both together, and this means publishers are looking for great new stories – which means that they need you (and your unique art, if you’re an artist)!

Perhaps you’re wondering:

  • How can you use your own unique self and experience to write an authentic, special picture book that editors will love?
  • How can you be original like your favorite books?
  • How can you write a picture book that stands out from the many thousands that are sent to editors every year?
  • How can you avoid the top 10 mistakes to avoid ending up in the slush pile?

Art agent, author and innovative educator, Lilla Rogers, says: “It comes from finding what makes you unique, and discovering the story you are excited to tell. I’ve created a playful, personalized, and structured course that brings out your special story, with all kinds of fun but insightful worksheets and exercises,. I will move you forward bit by bit to help you find your passion and create your own brilliant story – the story that only you can write!”

What Makes This Course So Special?

Creative people – like you – have wonderful, powerful imaginations. Let art agent Lilla show you how you can tap into yours to create an exciting, original story: the book that only you can write.

In this course, taught by Lilla Rogers, an author and art agent of over 25 years , with brilliant children’s picture book art director and published picture book author, Zoë Tucker, Lilla has created a playful yet structured, accessible step-by-step technique that will help you create an original standout book – even if you don’t (yet) think of yourself as a writer.

  • This is an idea-building course and a playful way to come up with fresh ideas and write your own story.
  • It will get you started with writing your own unique story, even if you don’t think of yourself as a writer.
  • It’s a really quirky way of creating a picture book concept — passion-based, play-based, and inspiration-based.

Lilla says: “You don’t need to be an illustrator to take this course, but if you can illustrate and write a story, you are that much more appealing to editors and art directors. You get to create your own characters and your own story and then illustrate it so it becomes your total vision. You also make twice the money—you get the advance as author and illustrator, and all the royaltie$ as well.”

She adds: “A little while ago, I became obsessed with the idea of teaching my students and my artists how to write a really excellent story for a picture book. I wanted to teach it in a way that was playful and imaginative, but with lots of concrete tips and plenty of downloadables and examples. When I write a new course, I think of who can it help. Who is it for? Who will benefit? Then, I build the content with that in mind. If you’re going to write a picture book shouldn’t it come from a playful and lively experience? Shouldn’t the process be fun for you? I’ve created of course the way I love to teach—getting you to literally play with your characters.”

Who Is This Course For?

This course is for anyone who feels like they have a story to tell. Lilla says: “In common with all my courses, My Kid Book Pitch is about being the best that you can be, and being as authentic as possible.”

You don’t need to know how to draw for this course, but if you are an illustrator then this course is perfect for you because as an author and agent, Lilla knows exactly how to teach illustrators to come up with cool, original ideas – just like she does for the artists that she represents.

Your Teacher

Lilla Rogers is one of the most successful illustration agents in the world, managing the careers of over 35 high-caliber artists whose works you’ve undoubtedly seen in children’s books, magazines, greeting cards, and on scads of deliciously designed goods from bed linens and tote bags to journals and wall art. Lilla has sold art for products and ad campaigns worth over quarter of a billion US dollars and has clients all over the globe. Being on the front lines, as an agent that assigns art for dozens of books, Lilla knows the trends – and the pitfalls.

Lilla says: “This is the kind of thing that I do with my artists to get them to come up with unique ideas for projects. Then they go off and create it. So, my expertise is helping people get cool ideas. The editor takes it from there.

Lilla adds: “The course content is based on the 10 things I’ve seen illustrators do over the years from when they show me their text for a picture book. I’ve seen all the mistakes. The course actually came about from a document outlining all the things not to do and what to do that I give to my artists!”

As well as being a top art agent, Lilla is also a skilled educator and has taught everyone from little kids to professional artists. She prides herself on the effectiveness of her teaching and making learning with her accessible, achievable and fun. As a creative person herself, she knows how to gear her teaching towards creative minds, and bring out the very best in them. You’ll be amazed by what you can do.

Reviews

This popular e-course ran for the first time in late 2020, and it was tested by some of the artists represented by Lilla. Read on to find out what they thought of the course.

Kelly Anne Dalton

Like all Make Art That Sells courses, the materials and instruction are so well laid out. Lilla has the perfect formula to coax a character and story right out of you before the dreaded artist’s/writer’s block even has a chance to set in.

It’s perfect for people at any stage in the process, from beginner to advanced. My thoroughly left-brained husband (who claims he has no imagination, but wanted to help) was easily able to tap into Lilla’s course model and write a hilarious story of his own, complete with a full story arc and resolution. He is now ready to quit his day job and write children’s books all day!

Katie Vernon

The course makes it all feel doable. It takes a very daunting task and gives you the outline for what you need to get it done.

The magic cards at the start really got the creative juices flowing and sparked some fun ideas for me. I also loved the blank story boarding: using Post-its allowed me to reimagine a few parts of my story to make it flow better.

The most interesting part was that by the end, all six of us artists had very different, very unique-to-us stories. It didn’t feel like any of our stories would be competing for a particular spot in the market.

Mara Penny

This course was amazing! There is so much to learn! I enjoyed the first week’s worksheets that encourage you to do some self-exploration to really round out your character. Also, I had not considered perspective or tense when I wrote my first draft. It changed the tone of my story quite a bit. The magic cards were… magic!

I would start the worksheets thinking I knew where it would lead but it always opened doors to another path I hadn’t considered which further transformed my story. I found that fascinating!

This course will be beneficial to people wanting to write a picture book. It encourages you to think about all aspects of the character, to really get a good handle on them before you start your text. It also offers you a glimpse into your own mind and what makes you tick.

Erica Root

I never imagined that I would have been able to write, edit, and modify the full text for my own children’s book and to also create an entire book dummy to show what illustrations will be on which page to accompany specific parts of the story.

The course helped to take an idea in my head and form it into something that I could really work with and develop further. I found the storyboard worksheet really helpful: by seeing everything laid out in front of me, it allowed me to see the parts of the story that weren’t really working. I then swapped some of the pages around, and the flow was immediately improved.

The course takes away a lot of the self-doubt and intimidation that can come with trying something new and, instead, directs your focus on how to create compelling characters, a captivating story path, and illustrations that translate the story into a visually beautiful world for your characters which is all built off of your own unique idea.

I truly feel that if you even have so much as a tiny spark of an idea or an interest in creating stories for children, this course will guide you right through every step from idea to pitch. The robustness of the course materials and worksheets take all of the intimidation away to allow your focus and attention to be placed on the fun stuff: letting your imagination and creativity run wild.

If you have a question about Make Art That Sells please check these Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) first. If you do not find an answer to your question here please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Q: Do I need to have a story in mind before class? What if I have a story idea? What if I don’t have a story idea?

A: Lilla says “Either is totally fine! I’m delighted if you come to class without an idea because I’m excited to see the amazing and unique ideas that you to come up with using my custom Magic Cards. But if you already have an idea in mind or a brand new idea after reading a picture book, etc, that you want to start with and develop further, that’s great too. The very first exercises for Week 1 – Day 1 even – will get you to play, to experiment, to dig deep and explore your unique, amazing, creative self. Creative people like you have the most wonderful imaginations! You may find that you come up with something completely fresh that you like better, a new way of thinking about your character or your story, or you might still be in love with your idea and see clearly how it’s going to work. It’s all good. I wrote it for any and all of these situations.”

Q: I’ve already taken Illustrating Children’s Books. Is there much overlap between that and this course?

A: No, there’s no overlap between the two courses. Illustrating Children’s Books is all about picture book illustration and will help you build a fantastic portfolio targeted at landing children’s book illustration work. My Kid Book Pitch focuses completely on writing your very own children’s picture book. Lilla will give supplemental assignments for illustrators to help build a really strong, eye-catching pitch, but the content of the two courses is completely different.

Q: Is this a LIVE or a self-paced class?

A: Previously run as a live class,  My Kid Book Pitch is now self-paced. You’ll have instant access to all the course content, including replays of Lilla’s teaching events and reviews. You will have all the tools you need to create a strong pitch, and you can of course run bits and pieces by your fellow students in the private Facebook group.

Q: I’ve never taken an online class before. How does it work? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time?

A: The course happens in a gorgeous password-protected private classroom right here on this site. There is a separate online classroom here on the Make Art That Sells website for each course, divided into lessons.

The beauty of an online course is that you can check in whenever you like and do not need to be online at a specific time as the content will be available 24/7, so it does not matter what time zone you are in. You can log on every day if you choose, or set aside time once or twice a week to work through it.

The written content in the class will be downloadable and you will have access to the classroom until January 31, 2025 so you have plenty of time to work through everything at your own pace.

There will also be a private Facebook group where you can connect with others and share images of your work, and this will remain open indefinitely.

Q: What format is the class taught in?

A: The class is taught using video sessions, written posts, downloadable information including a 100+-page worksheet and valuable resources, and a huge amount of imagery. Everything is made available in a bespoke, password-protected private classroom. There are assignments as well as a handful of additional creative exercises in the course.

Q: Do I need to have a drawing tablet or be able to create digital illustrations for this course? 

A: You don’t need any special software or equipment for this course. Our students use all kinds of different methods, some are strictly digital, others are traditional artists, and lots are in between. Any method you want to use to create your illustrations is fine!

Q: What if I can’t draw people?

A: No problem! Some of the most amazing children’s books don’t even include illustrations of human characters: some books feature animals, made-up creatures, and even anthropomorphized objects, like talking pencils! Here’s the key to a great character, whether it’s a girl, a bird or a stick: it’s about capturing personality.

If you’d like to increase your confidence around drawing faces, have a look at Lilla’s mini self-paced course, Lilla’s Art Recipes: Drawing Faces.

Q: What if I can draw people and have actually illustrated children’s books? Will I learn anything new?

A: We promise that between Lilla, Zoë, and all your new classmates that you’ll meet, you’ll be exposed to many different perspectives and have lots of light bulb moments. Plus, video replays that discuss the work being done for class, so that’s another opportunity to learn what an agent and former illustrator and a children’s book art director and picture book author think about the work being done for the course

Q: Can I access Make Art That Sells courses from any device?  

A: Yes, you can access Make Art That Sells courses from any device once registered, but we strongly recommend viewing our courses on a desktop or laptop for the best user experience. We pack lots of information and visuals into our courses and they are best viewed on larger screens.

Q: How hard is the course?

A: Lilla is a gifted teacher and has broken down the assignments into clear steps to help you create great art without getting overwhelmed. This course is suitable for all stages and abilities.

Q: Does it matter what order I take Make Art That Sells courses in?

Make Art That Sells courses can be taken in any order. You can take each course individually, or take them all to put a rocket under your creative career!

Q: How do I choose which course is right for me?

A: It really depends on whether you are looking to learn.

    • If you want to know what art directors look for in the top ten art markets and how to go about creating work they might buy… you want Hot Markets for Your Art Part A and Part B.
    • If you want to know how to pitch ideas for entire product collections for the lucrative home décor market, to sell MORE of your work to each client, you want Creating Collections for Home Décor.
    • If you want to create a stunning children’s book illustration pitch that includes everything an agent or art director will want to see, you want Illustrating Children’s Books.
    • If you just want to have assignments to stretch you creatively and build your portfolio weekly over three months, you want Assignment Bootcamp or over four months with Bootcamp Special: Character Play.
    • Please note, if you want the opportunity to put questions to Lilla and have the possibility of having your work reviewed, you want to sign up for  one of our live courses – in 2024. If you are happy just to have the chance to get your work featured in an online gallery and get support from your creative peers and have a smaller budget available, you want Assignment Bootcamp: Lettering.

Q: I am not a digital artist. Is this course for me?

A: All of the assignments given in the course are suitable for both traditional and digital artists to interpret in their own way.

Q: Will I be able to communicate with others in the class?

Yes, you will be able to communicate in the private Facebook group provided (where you can also share images of your work and your ideas). This will be a great chance to connect with other artists and designers, get different perspectives and share your work. Our students find this one of the best parts of Make Art That Sells.

Q: Will the class material be available after the class has ended?

A: Yes, you will have access to the classroom until January 31, 2025. The written class content can be downloaded from class. The private Facebook group will remain available to you indefinitely.

Q. Is this an art class or a business class?

A: It is both, but it is not a technique class. The course focuses on giving you the insider view on what you need to do when creating your pitch to make it more commercially viable while still being uniquely you. As with all of our classes, there is a strong creative element to it, but it also looks at the children’s book industry in-depth and gives business insight there.

Q: How much is it and how do I register?

A: My Kid Book Pitch is £259, which is approximately USD $312. Please note this approximate $ equivalent is given for reference only. When paying by Paypal, you will be charged in your local currency at the prevailing Paypal exchange rate.

Q: I see the prices are given in GBP (British pounds). Can I pay in another currency?

A: Yes, Paypal accepts most currencies. All class fees are charged in GBP (British pounds), and this will be the amount which shows up in your Paypal transaction, but you will automatically be charged in your local currency at the prevailing Paypal exchange rate valid at the point you sign up – so if you have a USD$ bank account the funds will be removed in USD$.

Q: I don’t live in the USA. Is this course relevant for me?

A: Lilla Rogers represents artists internationally and has clients all over the world. Although the main buyers for art in the markets covered are in the US and the UK, much of the content is relevant for you wherever in the world you are, especially if you are interested in selling your work internationally. And because everything is made available to you online, it does not matter what time zone you are in.

Q: How is this course different to a college course?

A: As an agent whose artists have illustrated and authored lots of children’s books, Lilla knows exactly what sells and what doesn’t sell. She knows what clients are looking for and how to present work to them. The course is based on many years of experience in the industry, and a clear understanding of where the gaps are.

As an online course, you can attend from the comfort of your own home or studio, anywhere in the world, and the private classroom is open 24/7 so you can make it work around your life.
