Illustration Opportunity: ASA Professional Development Program

The ASA is once more seeking a member illustrator to provide a cover for the ASA Professional Development Program July 2014 – June 2015. Approximately 7000 colour copies are printed and distributed to members and to the broader writing community around the country. This is a great opportunity for portfolio exposure and is a paid gig and will receive a by-line in the program. The illustration may also be featured as the ‘cover’ of the ASA Facebook page:
www.facebook.com/pages/Australian-Society-of-Authors.

Past illustrators for the ASA Professional Development Program have been Ann James, Sally Heinrich, Cally Bennett and myself.

The successful illustrator must be available to provide preliminary sketches by Wednesday 30 April, and final artwork by Wednesday 7 May.  The program design will require a full cover sized 405 mm x 290 mm. The chosen illustrator will need to take some direction on design to allow space for title and other required logos and material.

ASA do a great job advocating for authors in a tough publishing climate, but this is another good reason to be an ASA member.

Blogger alert:

Okay so I have been hiding under a rock (for those who know about this little gem). I got pretty excited when I found this blog after browsing the net with bleary eyes at midnight whilst clearing my desk and saving my illustration work – long day!

Oh, you want me to spit it out? Drum roll…………. http://kidlitartists.blogspot.com.au/
Yes this awesome blog is founded by the SCBWI Illustration Portfolio Mentees (Class of 2010) and a talented lot they are. I will be haunting them in the future for sure.
