Creative Launch Programme with Agency Representation

MAKE VALUABLE CONNECTIONS WITH PUBLISHERS AND SECURE COMMISSIONS

A one year programme that combines portfolio development with agency representation. You can also work directly with your own clients and will be represented at the major book fairs. 

Launching a creative career without contacts and connections can be incredibly challenging and disheartening. The creative industries rely heavily on networks and relationships, making it difficult for newcomers to break in and it is almost impossible to get your foot in the door.  

 

Without established connections, it can be tough to get your work seen by the right people and secure opportunities. 

The lack of contacts can lead to isolation and missed chances, as many opportunities are often passed along through word-of-mouth or personal recommendations.

 

It can be incredibly disheartening, especially when you feel like giving up despite trying your best. This can make the initial steps of a creative career feel like an uphill battle, where talent alone is not enough to gain traction.

With my experience and connections, I can significantly ease the challenges of launching your creative career. Having navigated the industry myself, I understand the hurdles of breaking in without the right network.

 

Over the years, I’ve helped numerous illustrators break into the industry, secure projects, and make valuable connections that have propelled their careers forward. 

Through my creative launch programme, I can offer you access to valuable industry contacts, introduce you to potential collaborators  

and clients, and provide insights that come from years of experience in the field.

 

My goal is to not only help you develop your skills but  

also to connect you with the network that will support and amplify  

your creative career.
