Children’s Book Illustration for Serious Authors
Got a completed manuscript? Let’s take it from words on paper to a complete book in 4 months or less.
Step 1
Submit the manuscript
I do not edit, so the manuscript should be 100% ready. Any additional story updates later in the process will incur a fee.
Step 2
Storyboard + Illustration Test
Based on your manuscript, I will submit a storyboard that maps out your whole story with thumbnail illustrations.
In addition, you will receive illustration tests from me that includes character and setting design, as well as proposed art style and color palette.
Step 3
Illustration Review
Final illustrations will be created and sent for review in 2 phases, linework and final. You can give feedback at linework, and refinements can be made on the final illustration.
Step 4
Print-ready files
Once all illustrations are reviewed and approved, I will lay out the text and prepare a print-ready file that you can send to a printing service of your choice. No additional designer needed!
