Date: Friday 1st March 2024
Time: 10 am - 1 pm
Location: Carmelite House, 50 Victoria Embankment, London, EC4Y 0DZ

We’ve partnered with Hachette to host another in-person portfolio review! Join us at Carmelite House in London on Friday the 1st of March to have your work critiqued by publishing experts.

How It Will Work

You have until midnight on Tuesday the 20th of February 2024 to apply using the online form below.

12 Illustrators will be chosen (at random) to attend the portfolio review and invited to Carmelite House on Friday the 1st of March. Illustrators will be given a specific time slot between 10 am and 1 pm.

You should bring along a physical portfolio of illustration work to show during your review with one of the Hachette team. We recommend that this is a printed portfolio, however, you can also bring along a device to display your digital portfolio on instead if that is easier.

There will be the opportunity to talk through your portfolio, ask questions and receive feedback. Like our online portfolio reviews, this event aims to help you improve your work. The day will be informal, relaxed and, hopefully, super helpful!
