I field many questions related to publishing and book promotion. And I like to share my responses from time to time with those of you who enjoy my blog. After all, some of you might have similar questions.<\/p>\n
Yesterday a SPAWN member asked about working with an illustrator. She wanted to know what they charge\u2014what sort of contract to expect. Here is my response:<\/p>\n
Here are four links to articles on the subject of working with an illustrator. They were the first four links that appeared when I typed in keywords \u201cauthor working with illustrator.\u201d In an Internet search. <\/p>\n

I\u2019m guessing that most negotiate with the authors they work with. Don’t you think a contract would be different when there are a few simple drawings involved than if there were several complex pieces of artwork?<\/p>\n I often recommend Ann Whitford Paul\u2019s Writing Picture Books<\/em> to anyone entering into the children\u2019s book market. It\u2019s a great reference.<\/p>\n And you\u2019ll find a lot of information about illustrations for, writing and publishing children\u2019s books at the Society of Children\u2019s Book Writers and Illustrators. http:\/\/www.scbwi.org<\/a> <\/p>\n If your manuscript is ready for editing, contact Patricia Fry. I\u2019ll provide a sample edit, evaluate your manuscript and offer and estimate for editing the entire manuscript. PLFry620@yahoo.com.
