We are excited to announce the return of Penguin General Portfolio Sessions, following a brilliant launch last year.

The scheme will once again look to support under-represented creatives in the publishing industry. We’re offering aspiring designers and illustrators a remote mentoring session with two Penguin General designers.

Whether you’d like feedback on your portfolio, to learn about the creative roles within publishing or to find out how to get commissioned as an illustrator, this is a great opportunity to get some insight into publishing and advice on your next career steps.

How To Apply

Please apply here by submitting 5 pieces of work that best showcase your talent.

You can submit work of any genre or media (i.e. fine art; fashion; illustration; graphic design etc.) but please bear in mind our feedback will be focused on developing work for the publishing industry.

Deadline: Sunday 15th September, 11pm.
