Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 7:19 pm

There are many different types of Illustrators out there, so if you’re looking for someone to do all the illustrations for your children’s book, you’ll want to narrow down your search.

Some Illustrators specialize in children’s books, while others may be more experienced in illustrating adult books. You’ll want to ask your potential Illustrator what kind of illustrations they’re best suited for.

PRO TIP: In order to avoid scams and copyright infringement, it is important to be aware of a few things when looking for an illustrator for a children’s book. Make sure to get everything in writing, including the illustrator’s copyright to the work. Be sure to have a contract that stipulates how many illustrations are needed, when they are due, and how much the illustrator will be paid. It is also a good idea to find an illustrator who specializes in the type of illustrations you need for your book.

It can be helpful to get references, and to contact Illustrators who have worked on books similar to the one you’re planning. You can also look online for Illustrator directories or search engines.

Ultimately, it’s important to feel comfortable with your potential Illustrator, and to be able to discuss the illustrations you’re envisioning. It’s also helpful to have a general idea of the price range you’re looking to spend.
