We’ve partnered with Harper Collins to host our first-ever in-person portfolio review! Join us at The News Building in London on Wednesday the 7th of February from 10 am until 1 pm to have your work critiqued by publishing experts.
You have until midnight (GMT) on Tuesday the 30th of January 2024 to apply using the online form below.
15 illustrators will be chosen (at random) to attend the portfolio review and invited to The News Building in London on Wednesday, February 7th at 10am.
You should bring along a physical portfolio of your illustration work to display on a table (you’ll have another illustrator next to you at the same table to keep you company).
Between 10 am and 1 pm, Art Directors from Harper Collins will attend the portfolio review; wandering around the room, looking at all of your portfolios and chatting to you about your work. This means you will have the chance to have your work seen by multiple Art Directors!
Just like your online portfolio reviews, this event aims to help you improve your work. The day will be informal, relaxed and, hopefully, super helpful!
Harper Collins first started publishing books back in 1817. The Anglo-American publishing company is now considered to be one of the “Big Five” English-language publishers, working with some of the best-loved authors and illustrators around the world. Each year, they publish around 1,500 new books for readers of all ages and interests.
Our portfolio reviews are open to those belonging to typically under-represented groups in the industry, as part of our ongoing mission to make illustration more accessible and inclusive.
