Becoming A Children's Book Illustrator And Author With Colleen Kong-Savage

Becoming A Children's Book Illustrator And Author With Colleen Kong-Savage

Author: Sam Dogen: Financial Samurai founder, personal finance blogger April 11, 2024 Duration: 33:46

I speak with Colleen Kong-Savage about becoming a children's book illustrator and author, as well as a freelance graphic designer while living in expensive New York City.

Colleen has a new book out entitled Piano Wants To Play. It is a wonderful book for children and adults of all ages who appreciate music. It is also a touching story about rekindling the joy we had as children.

Colleen has been a long-time illustrator for Financial Samurai, creating all of the custom Samurai-themed graphics, including the logo and the Financial Samurai mask.

As you may know, it can be challenging to make a living as a creative professional. Therefore, I'm proud to support Colleen's endeavors.

If you're looking to support artists, the best way to do so is to purchase their work and hiring them. Please consider purchasing a copy of Piano Wants To Play and visiting Colleen's website at ckongsavage.com.
