She’s taken ICB a bunch of times and Lilla cited her strong children’s book illustration work as one of the reasons for offering her representation!
What are the new MATS PLUS courses?
Our new PLUS courses are shorter, super accessible complements to some of our most popular courses. They’re perfect for you if:
- you want to try out an exciting new market
- you’ve taken one of our full courses and want to build more portfolio pieces, develop your style or try a new approach to broaden your range
- you’ve just got the MATS course bug!

Illustrating Children’s Books PLUS is a tasty, easy to manage three weeks long (as opposed to five weeks for the full Illustrating Children’s Books course) and you’ll be tackling one exclusive mini-text to create a single fabulous market-savvy portfolio piece. It features the same teachers you know and love from our career-changing Illustrating Children’s Books course: top art agent Lilla Rogers and brilliant children’s book art director Zoë Tucker (who are always on the lookout for new artists!); and, as ever, there’ll be tons of delicious downloads, exciting live reviews, industry insights, and our wonderfully supportive private Facebook group.
