✸ Terms + Policy
-
All mentorship sessions are final sale once the session is complete.
However, I do offer limited refunds within one week of purchase, as long as the session has not yet taken place. After that time, or once the session is completed, no refunds will be issued.
-
For bundle purchases, you may request a partial refund for any unused sessions. Refunds will be calculated at the full single-session rate of $250 per session, regardless of the discounted bundle price.
Example: If you purchase a 3-session bundle and only complete one, your refund will be:
$675 - $250 (used session) = $425 refunded -
If you need to reschedule your session, please give at least 24 hours’ notice. I’ll do my best to accommodate and find a new time that works for both of us.
Sessions that are missed or canceled with less than 24 hours' notice will be considered forfeited.
-
All sessions (including bundles) must be used within 2 years of the original purchase date.
-
Unfortunately, I can’t guarantee direct connections or outcomes.
I can help guide you through the steps toward querying, pitching, and growing your visibility, or giving feedback to help towards your artistic growth.
✸ FAQ
-
These sessions are for creatives at any stage! Whether you're just starting out, transitioning into illustration, or looking to grow a more sustainable freelance career.
If you're craving feedback, direction, or a creative boost, you're in the right place.
-
Not at all. You don’t need an agent, a big client list, or a polished portfolio to book a session. I work with artists at all levels, including students, career-changers, and mid-career creatives figuring out their next move.
-
Yes! Each session is fully personalized.
As long as it fits within the 1 hour, we can combine things like portfolio feedback and career questions, or focus entirely on a single illustration. Whatever will be most helpful to you.
However, if you have a lot of things to cover, it might be helpful to get the 3-session bundle so you have more time to talk about everything.
-
While I specialize in children’s publishing and illustration, many of the topics I cover (like creative business, pricing, and freelancing) are relevant to all kinds of artists and designers.
If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out before booking!
-
In most cases, yes! The intake form will help me prepare for our session, and do additional research if needed.
However! While I can try my best, I won’t be knowledgable about all industries. Things like graphic design, self-publishing, and specific tax information are not my expertise.
If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out before booking to see if I am a good fit! I want to make sure that I can help you! -
Nope. You can space them out however works best for you. We’ll coordinate each session individually based on your pace and schedule.

“I’ve always admired how Anoosha makes time in her busy career to share her wealth of knowledge to educate her peers and aspiring artists alike. As a fellow children’s book author and illustrator, I found her feedback helpful and her energy inspiring. Her critique of my website has been instrumental as I’ve begun working on my redesign. Overall, her years in the industry make her perspective valuable at any experience level!”

"Anoosha is absolutely brilliant at delivering insightful and detailed feedback in the most encouraging way possible. Her critiques always made me feel happy with where my art skills were at the moment, while also knowing exactly where and how to improve. One of the portfolio pieces that I worked on with Anoosha ended up being the one that the art director pointed out when I got my first publishing gig."

Hello there!
Meet the Mentor
I’m an award-winning illustrator, author, and character designer with over a decade of experience in children’s publishing and freelance art. I’ve worked with clients like Netflix, Google, Target, and Simon & Schuster, and I’ve illustrated over 40 books, including titles I’ve written myself.
But more than that, I’ve navigated the overwhelm, self-doubt, and messy ups-and-downs of building a creative career. I am a huge believer in free and accessible education, and I’ve spent my career sharing my knowledge. For those who are looking for something a little extra, these sessions are a way for me to give personalized advice and growth for struggling creatives.
Let’s figure it out together!
