This month, the illoguild discussed the topic Networking and Marketing—and we have to ask… was this our best Live yet? We talked about networking WHILE networking with fellow creatives, and it felt magical.
Here are some of the topics we discussed:
How growing and moving forward together as a group makes us stronger—creatively and professionally.
Why people remember how you make them feel more than what you show them.
Connecting with both peers and people in positions to hire (like publishers and agents)—and how it comes down to being yourself and treating others with respect.
How networking can lead to community and provide motivation for continuing our creative journeys, especially on days that this whole kids book thing feels tough!
A big thank you to Julia Swan,
, and Merrill for sharing their experiences and insights during the session. If you catch the replay, leave a comment—we’d love to hear your takeaways and advice, too!
