What about the gatekeepers?

CaseyKinseyArt

I was hoping either Jake, Will, Lee, or other SVS/3PP officials might be able to weigh in on the idea. I like hearing the artist interviews well enough, but are there any plans to interview the gatekeepers of the industry? People like art directors, the editors, the art reps? I feel like they could offer valuable insight on the opposite side of the industry.

Jake and I interviewed an agent recently. That should be coming out soon!

@CaseyKinseyArt I've been listening to the Illustration Department podcast for this type of thing. Recently they interviewed Heidi and Ryan Sanchez, Agents & Cofounders of Spinning Yarns.

I also enjoyed his conversation with Emma Dryden, editor of the imprint drydenbks.
