“When publishing your own art book, content is king,” Lennon says.

He also encourages participants to define their goals early: “Ask, ‘Who is this relevant to?’ and ‘What is it exactly that you want to get out of this?’”

Lennon will also talk about the many ways one can set an objective and take advantage of publishing a book “to help define your career and who you are.”
