We had SO many requests for access to the replays from this summit that we’ve decided to open enrollment again for a very short time!

Hey Artists! It’s time to get your book into the world.

This live virtual book publishing summit just for artists may be over…but the learning has just begun!

Click the button below to sign up and enjoy replays of every single session!

Have you been dreaming of creating a book... but you’re totally intimidated by the world of publishing?

→ How do I know if my book idea is good enough?

→ Do I need a publisher? How do I find one?

→ Should I get a book agent, or should I do it all myself?

→ How much money can I make?

If questions like these are getting in the way and keeping you from taking action…you’re in the exact right place.

 

How freaking cool would it be to see YOUR book on shelves?

...YOUR ideas on the pages!

...YOUR work on best-seller lists and in the hands of people all over the world!

Um, yeah. Your book in the world would be pretty awesome.

And if you’re catching yourself saying “yeah, cool, but that could never be me...”

HEY. Stop that. You can do anything. 

We know first-hand that you can go from knowing ZERO about publishing to authoring multiple best-selling books...because we’ve done it ourselves.

If this is something you really want to do, let’s stop dreaming and make it happen.

Together!

INTRODUCING…

From Artist to Author

A virtual book publishing summit for creatives

Learn how to create your own best-selling book as we spend 5 epic days with 30+ of the top published artists and industry experts in the field.

Who’s running this thing?

We’re 3 published artists who are passionate about sharing what we’ve learned!

Ilana Griffo is a lettering artist and author in upstate New York. After becoming an adjunct professor, she became passionate about helping others pursue their creative passion, which inspired her first book, Mind Your Business. Since then, she has also published a vision board kit and co-founded Goodtype, a resource for artists who mean business.

Katie Johnson is a lettering artist, educator, and author from Austin, Texas. She’s also the founder of The Monster Project, an initiative that teaches kids the power of their imaginations, for which she has self-published four books. Katie works with Ilana to run Goodtype.

Peggy Dean is an artist-turned-best-selling author with her 7th book currently in production. Over the last 5 years, alongside running The Pigeon Letters, she’s navigated self publishing, working with literary agents, and working directly with publishers. More than anything, she loves sharing industry secrets and knowledge to help people see a more direct route to reach their goals.

Who is this for?

 

From Artist to Author is perfect for you if…

→ You’re an artist who has always wanted to write, illustrate, or collaborate on a book, but you don’t know where the heck to start

→ You’re totally intimidated by the publishing world and have no idea how to break in

→ You’re ready to explore new income streams for your business

→ You’re looking to connect with friends who are in your same boat

→ You want a well-rounded intro to the publishing world, not just one person’s perspective 

 Your book doesn’t need to be finished.
You don’t even need to have an idea yet!

All you need is a hefty dose of curiosity and a willingness to learn something new. 

This is your chance to hear different stories and experiences so you can decide for yourself which publishing path is right for you.

You don’t want to miss this.

This is a one-of-a-kind event. 

→ We don’t know when or if we’re ever going to put something like this together again, so don’t sleep on it! We really want to share this with you!

→ And if you’re wondering if it’s the right time to start working on a book with all you’ve got going on...honestly, it doesn’t have to be the time (but remember, we all deserve to find the time and space for the stuff that lights us up!). 

→ This is a chance to get your wheels turning, and it’s up to you what you’ll decide to do next. Maybe you’ll put everything you’ve learned in your toolbox for later, or maybe you’ll be so inspired you’ll hit the ground running right away!

Either way, this is an awesome chance to hear from the best of the best...and to see where that takes you.
