HIRE AN ILLUSTRATOR

You've written your story and now you are ready for an illustrator.

This is a very exciting step in the development of your book!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

​

As you may know most picture books consist of 32 pages, and of those pages approximately 24-28 pages are used for the story and or illustrations. There are a million different ways you can illustrate and design a book!

It really is an exciting step to dream up awesome ways to entertain your audience.

 

I've created a couple of illustration packages to help you decide what exactly you need for illustrations.

 

You can choose one of our prepackaged selections, or you can choose an à la carte option that gives you total freedom for your Picture book!

WORKING WITH MELISSA...

"I want to thank Melissa for the wonderful experience myself and Mark had working with her on creating the illustrations for 'My Jelly Brain'. Melissa was open to our suggestions and ideas. She met with us a regular basis and helped us to co-create the way we wanted the book to appear. Her illustrations are amazing and they brought the book to life. I want to thank her for the help she has given us! :)"
