Wow, that is amazing. So happy for you. I guess SVS is the place to be. We've had a ton of our members getting agents lately.

[lmrush]

@evilrobot Thank you, SVS rocks, everyday I feel like I won the lottery finding these guys! They are so selfless with their knowledge and time and wanting to support aspiring illustrators- They are truly amazing.

[QuietYell]

@lmrush What an exciting development! Congratulations!!!

[Dulcie]

@lmrush Wow, how exciting and what wonderful news - so happy for you! It's interesting (and flattering) that they contacted you and not the other way around - congratulations! And it will be great to find out more about the project you're working on with them, once you're allowed to share

[lmrush]

thank you @andyjewett @Rich-Green @QuietYell and @Dulcie , I still agree with everything they talked about in the webinar, I still didn't think I was ready, but life sometimes pushes you in , I just hope I can swim.

Awesome!!!! : )

I appreciate all the things you guys are saying about SVS and I'm SO glad to see all the success stories. The strange thing about teaching and sharing information is that not only does it feel good, but more knowledge and opportunities will come your way. Remember this as you guys get out into the field. Try to share your knowledge too if the opportunity arises. : )

[Joy Heyer]

Congratulations @lmrush ! That is wonderful news! May I ask how they found you? I'm always amazed and inspired by others' stories!

[lmrush]

@Joy-Heyer Thank you Joy, I don't mind you asking at all. She saw my work on twitter. I went to a schwi event last spring they encouraged us to get on twitter/Instagram etc,. I came home from that retreat and resurrected my old twitter account that had been idle and started an Instagram I try and keep for illustration only.

[Charlie Eve Ryan]

Wonderful news, @lmrush! Congrats!! I had an agent find me through LinkedIn. I went with a different agency but it is possible! Keep your social media active and professional, you never know who is looking.

[lmrush]

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Thank you and yes so true! I tell my 16 year old daughter this all the time
