TWO DAYS left to respond to the UK Govt consultation on Copyright and AI. The AOI has created a brilliant guide to help with this - the consultation is onerous but their tips make completing it quick and easy for any creator, not just an illustrator. PLEASE ADD YOUR VOICE: theaoi.com/news/the-cop...
Still time to fill in this consultation - with handy tips from ALCS as it's a bastard to fill in otherwise (I filled it in before any guides were online and hoooo boy).
The book with a Firefly Press-branded postcard and 2 snail-themed sweets. The book’s cover shows 2 cartoon snails surrounded by jagged auras and stars standing on some grass with wild flowers growing in it. Their shadows are those of 2 children instead of snails.
The story of snails Fergus and Shelby, who can magically transform into anything they want, #SnailsOfTheUnexpected by @cowfishdreams.bsky.social, illustrated by Brenda Figueroa, sounds like a whole heap of fun. Out 05/04, huge thanks to @fireflypress.bsky.social for this fabulous proof. 🐌 #KidlitUK

I’m over on tik tok talking about organising your folio for agency submission - if you need some tips come say hi ! vm.tiktok.com/ZGdysTxgS/
Having a toy made using my characters still blows my mind
Thanks Kellie - yea they’re fully formed and I just just draw them out - makes life a lot easier ! Makes things twice as hard when I can’t see anything 😫😫😫🤪
It makes a nice change
Your art work would suit some lovely voard book non fiction I’d imagine ! Bright and bold 😀😀
My immediate thought would be to take a look at what has been released and what is being released over the next 6 months . If you look on Amazon and go to filters you can find newest arrivals - this helps .
Life cycles are always popular . I’m doing a series right now for Hachette
Post here if it can help others too - but happy to dm 😀
Ask away Emma Jayne ! Always happy to
Help if I can 😀
Hopefully can answer a few questions for some folk 😀 and pay it forward 😀

Doing a #CoverReveal? Credit illustrator & designer. Not only are you helping boost artist but it shows people that you or your publisher hired a HUMAN artist.
