#HFGather Illustrator Chat: Pat Cummings, Shadra Strickland & Sarah Jung on Agents

Shadra Strickland shared this quote during our #HFGather Illustrator Chat, where Pat Cummings talked with Shadra and illustrator Sarah Jung about the agent-illustrator relationship. Some of the things they discussed:

• Giving/getting illustrator feedback
• Writing stories to go with your illustrations
• Illustrators who have a really good sense of storytelling
• “You must be able to take criticism in order to grow.”–Pat
• How to go about finding an agent, and the importance of checking their references
• Even if you have an agent, you need to advocate for yourself
• Staying dedicated to putting in the work
• Showing up and pushing your life forward
