I HAVE A LITERARY AGENT!!! Thank You, SVS!!!

[Jeremy Ross]

I’m extremely happy to announce that I just signed with my amazing Literary Agent, Sera Rivers, at the Speilburg Literary Agency as an author/illustrator!

For those of you who’ve been with me during this journey, you know that I got my start here at SVS Learn in 2019. More precisely, I joined SVS on September 19, 2019.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I loved this community, our incredible teachers, Jake, Lee, Will and David, among others.

I joined nearly every SVS Critique Arena monthly challenge, and although I never won 1st place (made top 4 a few times (wink)), I was able to challenge myself and improve on a monthly basis. I aimed to get 1% better with each piece of art.

4 years later, I have achieved my goal of signing with my dream agent! Check out my SVS stats for historical data below.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I was doubting myself and wondering if i should continue. The SVS Community, Lee White, included, jumped in to give me the encouragement I needed to hear.

If I have one lesson to share, don’t give up on your dreams! Keep going! Keep learning! And believe in yourself!

Thank you SVS and this incredible community!

It's funny how you just were so frustrated some weeks ago, and now everything has changed, and i guess it will just be the beginning

Congratulations to you and i wish you even more luck in the future, because your style is evolving so much, there is so much potential.

Thank you @Katt , and you’re very welcome! I’ll be sharing more of my journey in my substack newsletter:)

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you @Larue ! You’re right, I needed to stop meandering with 1,000 styles and just stick with 1. I think it’s part of the process and journey.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you so much @AngelinaKizz !!!

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you for your kind words @Enni-Heikura ! I’m glad to provide some inspiration for this amazing community, which has always been so supportive.

[Jeremy Ross]

Thank you very much @von_Nimmermehr !! You are so right, it’s crazy how things can change quickly! This is why “never give up”, “resilience”, “grit”, “playing the long game” all resonate with the artists.

[Jeremy Ross]
