These are my slides from the presentation we did today. I tried to use the process to highlight to me the questions I want to ask that would benefit me the most. I want to try and contact a number of people on this list. I have aimed high trying to get in touch with successful practitioners that will be in demand and busy. I would like to ask them about their journey from where I am now to being a successful practitioner. The illustrators I have chosen are mostly children's book illustrators and I would like to know how they have had to alter their practice to suite the age ranges that their books are aimed at. It would also be useful to talk to publishers as they will have the same issues deciding what is and isn't appropriate. I would like to know how they got broke into the industry and got their first 'big' job. I have no experience of pitching my ideas to publishers so I would like to know how the illustrators I have chosen have found that process and if they have any advice for me. I will have to try and find creative ways to get in touch with these practitioners, I would like to send them some of my work that is relevant to their own practice to try and get some feedback.
