Last year, an author mentioned my shop on her substack. It changed my income so drastically that this is the spike of orders from that *one* mention last year. Word of mouth for an artist can change everything.

Thank you so much to those who supported, shared, or checked out my work from this post (or shared the work of someone else you love as a result!)
Feeling like people care and want to see artists thrive is genuinely uplifting.
Oh my god, you wrote Stack The Cats! This was one of my kids' favourite board books when they were toddlers, to the extent that we still play Stack The Cats now that they're 5 and 8 - I'm the cat at the bottom, and they lay in age order on top of me when we all need a big cuddle. We love your work!
That's awesome. It's a shame artists have to be marketers too to make a living at their art, but I guess that's just the world we live in. It's always heartening to see an artist get paid for their work. That's not an easy thing to pull off.
