EVENT TYPES
Orange Beak Evenings
Our Orange Beak Evenings take shape as a two-hour online talk with a professional children’s book illustrator, which comprise a presentation and a live Q&A. Members of our Tangerine Club on Patreon have access to these talks included in your Tier benefits.
Beak Speaks
Comprising an hour and a half talk and Q&A, our Beak Speaks events are hosted by a wide range of creatives or illustrators – typically all of whom work within the worlds of children's books and/or illustration.
Industry Insights
Designed to help expand your knowledge of the publishing industry as a whole, these events are an hour-and-a-half long with a publishing professional. From editors and agents, to those working in design and publicity, the online talk consists of a talk given by the professional and a live Q&A.
Orange Beak Workshops
Our workshops cover all kinds of topics – colour, character, writing, composition, design … we cover nearly everything within the scope of children’s books! While the topics are ever-changing, all of the workshops are three hours long, and include a presentation, live activity, and Q&A. In some workshops, there’s also the opportunity to share and get feedback.
