        @Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen I would like to add another book called, The Dog Likes the Cat (and a Fish.) a very simple, rough, easy to read digital book. https://www.amazon.com/Dog-Likes-Cat-Fish/dp/0997627557/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Marsha+Ottum+Owen&qid=1594792680&sr=8-1

          Hi Forum! I finished the final art for my first picture book in April, and the publisher released the cover last month. Imagine a Wolf (Page Street Kids 2021) will be out in the world January 12, 2021, distributed by Macmillan.

          SVS Learn continues to be an integral part of my first-book journey. I discovered 3 Point Perspective when I was still in the rough thumb stage - the podcast totally fed my process and helped me immensely. There is always something in the conversation relevant to what I’m doing or thinking about (or should be doing/thinking about!)…and now I’ve been an SVA member for a couple of months and I’m loving the forum, monthly prompts and classes. Thank you!

                              I published two more. Self published so they might not be perfect but...I'm okay with that right now.

                                  Do the books have to be published after starting an SVS course? I’m assuming yes šŸ™‚

                                    @danielerossi Well, to be honest, I guess anyone can publish a book but taking the classes makes the illustrator improve. šŸ™‚ I self publish on Amazon and the classes have really helped but, I can see a lot of places I can improve on myself. Finishing a book is a great learning tool to. You can see where you need help šŸ™‚

                                        The first picture book I illustrated in English is out this September. Very Excited for this one.

                                        I have one Picture book in Norwegian came out in 2020:

                                        The book did OK. I received my first loyalty report right before the summer holiday :-), very cool. I was also commissioned to do another book with similar concept for the same publisher. I just wrapped up the project before the summer holiday, and the book is coming out this September as well :-).

                                        And here is another book that will also be out this September.

                                        Personally, I have a very mixed feeling about the last book. But as Jake Parker always says "finished, not perfect".
                                        Right now, I moved on to the next picture book which will be a non-fiction book. I am also writing my own picture book, a completely new adventure.

                                        I also did a book cover art and some interior work for a YA fantasy novel.

                                        The book got some attention in the country, and I have seen the book poping up around in the city, and around social media and news paper/magazine reviews. It was really cool to see. Unfortunately, there is no tradition to have the illustratorĀ“s name on the cover (I have asked for this, but the AD said "sorry, we can not do that"). So I did not get much benefit from it apart from being happy to see the book around šŸ™‚

                                            Hi! This is my first post here. My brother and I self published a book on Amazon last year. My brother, a Physical Ed Teacher and Coach, wrote it and I did all the illustrations and layouts. As a long ago Art grad I knew I needed help to get to a pro level. I needed to find a place to level myself up as a children’s book illustrator and creator. I’m currently taking the Children’s Book Pro class and I’m blow away with how much I didn’t know. I’m also impressed with how much more of a reality my long time goals are becoming thanks to Jake, Lee and Will.

                                            Thank you ALL at SVS!
