Illustration for Self Publishing Authors

I work with self publishing authors who are committed to producing the highest quality print or ebook and have the dedication and resources needed to reach that goal. Whether you need illustration for a 32 page children's book you are self publishing, a cover for a novel, humorous black & white spots or a book with any amount of illustration in between, I can provide that illustration.

You can see many more examples of my children's book illustrations here.

If you are not sure if you want to self publish or pursue a traditional publisher please carefully research each option and make an informed decision. The big advantage to working with a traditional publisher is that they will pay you to publish your book. They will also pay the illustrator and all of the production costs. The publisher will also select the illustrator. The rub of course is that it can be extraordinarily difficult to acquire a deal with a traditional publisher, often for reasons that may have nothing to do with the quality of your manuscript.

If you decide to self publish it will be up to you to find the illustrator who will create the illustrations for your book. The book market is incredibly competitive so using the highest quality illustration is imperative. For the book buyer confronted with innumerable choices, a book often is judged by its cover. Have you written a novel? Your novel featuring an illustrated cover superbly painted specifically for your book will unquestionably be a cut above one displaying a montage of stock images photoshopped together.

Feel free to contact me if you decide self publishing is the right path for you.
