How do you find a good illustrator?

Answer 1

To find a good illustrator, you need to know what kind of book you are writing? If you are writing a children's book, that means that the pictures will mostly be telling the story, with the help of some words. Children's Books are usually for children ages 3 to 8 years old. If you want to write a chapter book, then you won't need as many pictures. Usually, chapter books don't have any pictures at all! if you are a kid, and you are trying to publish a book, then you can probably find another kid to do the illustration for you. Just make sure that the kid you pick is good at drawing. If you are an adult, find another adult who is willing to help you illustrate, and make sure they are good at drawing. Make sure that whoever will illustrate for you can draw whatever you want to be the theme for your book. For example, if you are writing a book about castles, then your illustrator has to be able to draw castles! Or, if you are writing a non-fiction book, you should get a good photographer, to take photos for you so that you can publish them in your book. taking photos is easier, than drawing stuff for your book, and heck, you don't even need a photographer, you can take the photos yourself!

Good luck!
