Helping You to Get Published

For an Illustrator, book illustration is a challenging and rewarding “dream job.” I connect with the Author and visually interpret their words, creating something that showcases the work of both writer and illustrator. It’s truly a win-win opportunity. Working together, the writer’s manuscript comes to life in a creative partnership. In the case of a children’s book, we develop imaginative characters as I draw what the Author is thinking. By placing the sketches into a storyboard as we go, the narrative takes shape in visual form well before the final artwork is produced.

With a background in print publishing, I also design, typeset, and provide the book in files that are ready for the Printer. No longer is the end result a stack of art boards, but professional, editable files suitable for publishing in multiple formats. Thanks to PDF files viewable on computers and most e-reader devices, the books I’ve worked on are shared, promoted and pre-sold before they even go to the printer. I also supply promotional graphics and digitally rendered “product shots” of the finished book ‑ before there is a finished book.
