NessIllustration

Thank you Holley and Eli! It certainly feels like a big deal to me hihi

Chip Valecek

WOW Congrats!!

Gary Wilkinson

Congratulations @NessIllustration and I hope you get a ton of work coming in from them! I noticed that Beehive are a UK company, whereas you are based in Canada. Were you looking for an international agent or do you feel that the location wasn't so important?

Let us know when your first book is out so we can all rush to buy a copy

@chip-valecek Thanks Chip! I'm so thrilled!

@Gary-Wilkinson I understand it can take a bit of time for an agent to get the ball rolling with a new artist, but I can't wait to get work So exciting!
Most of the agents I was interested in were based in the UK, funnily enough! I guess the UK has a thing for children illustration? I didn't find a good rep in Canada and the Beehive represents illustrators internationally anyway, so I didn't really mind
