Writing, illustrating and pitching your very own arty book is easier than you might think (for one thing, did you know you don’t even have to write the whole book to pitch it and get a publishing deal?), and in My Arty Book Pitch, Lilla will lead you through the entire process step by step.

Plus you’ll get weekly LIVE reviews with Lilla, weekly exclusive interviews with industry experts and published author-illustrators like Lisa Congdon and Meera Lee Patel, weekly assignments to build your pitch bit by bit, tons of insightful quizzes and worksheets, and lots more. Read more about the course and what you get here.

And don’t forget, Lilla will be picking TWO students at the end of the course for a warm, supportive, private 1:1 meeting to hone your pitch to perfection – what an incredible opportunity!

MATS MABP SCHEDULE

Here’s your schedule – look at all the goodness you get! Sign up today and get stuck in right away with your first Mini assignment plus a ton of video lessons from Lilla packed with hints, tips and inspiration.

Lilla originally created this class because, as a busy international art agent, she saw that illustrated non-fiction books are a huge art market, and the stats back her up: 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.

Plus arty books are an amazing income source for artists and creative people, because not only do you get paid for landing a book deal (and Lilla also shares other ways you can make money from your pitch in the course, like selling ebooks), but it can also lead to other paid opportunities like speaking or writing a column. Don’t miss out – join the class now and get your first Mini assignment plus the first five video lessons from Lilla!

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you to warm up for class by sharing a photograph of something that you thought would make an amazing arty book.

We loved looking through all of your incredible ideas – one of the reasons why arty books are such a great market for creative people like you is because it allows you to explore (and monetize!) your huge quirky imagination.

If you missed the free live zoom last week, then catch up below.
