Is Your Art Vulnerable Enough? [Part 2] [Graphic Novelist/ Literary Agent Tori Sharp]

You're A Better Artist Than You Think

http://linktr.ee/chrisoatley

In part one of this series, graphic novelist and literary agent Tori Sharp shared tips on pitching to publishers, how story guides design, and the challenge of creating honest art.

Now, in part two, Tori talks about stories as "sense-making" devices, urges the importance of celebration breaks during long projects, and shares her experience as an autistic artist.

Once again, our production coordinator, Mari Gonzalez Curia, who is currently seeking representation for her first original graphic novel, joins me as co-host.
