Whether it’s an Enid Blyton book or a Harry Potter book the world has witnessed the contribution of talented book illustrators for making the children’s book look so fascinating. Being a children book writer, you might also want to hire an illustrator while on the course of self-publishing the book for young readers.
If you are already in a close connection with a highly experienced illustrator, then you can team with the professional and carry on with the project, however, if you lack sufficient contacts being a debutant children book writer, then either you connect with a self publishing company where they offer all types of book publishing services from a book cover designer to an illustrator or you can go online to hire a freelancer for that job.
Whichever way you select to hire the illustrator, do consider a few things that we are about to discuss in the following pointers—
Check Portfolios
Shortlist a few professionals from the references you receive or by searching them online. When finding a suitable illustrator for your book, based on their total experiences or the samples that you checked on the portfolios, you can interview the chosen illustrators to take up your project.
Bestsellers they worked for
The way you hire the best book cover design service for designing the cover of your book, you should select the illustrator based on the bestsellers they have contributed to so far. If you have a higher budget, you can stick to your plan or else, you can work with any talented illustrator for the job.
However, if you connect with an agent directly or hire a self-publishing company, you might not have to worry about none of the above as such studios assure writers with the one-stop book publishing services under the same roof.
