Hi Everyone,
Still learning how to use the new version of the site and not certain if this is the right spot to post. But I think it is.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good children's book illustrator that has experience working with Amazon Publishing Services.
I'm looking to self publish one of my stories.
Any help on the subject would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Well if you are looking for inexpensive, check out students in art school, hobby illustrators and sometimes you can find affordable people on deviant art.
Not certain how expensive it is or the type of arrangement i should make. Do I just pay for the art outright and I own it for the story?
You can work that out with the artists. A lot of student artists will ask to use it for their portfolio but you'd own it.
I would reccomend you to hire a freelancer, because it's the easiest way to get something done. You can look through the portfolios on the website: XPlace and pick those you need or you can just post your job offer and wait for feedback. I hope it will help.
You can also try www.fiverr.com. It's free to join, then explain what you're looking for (illustrator), and you will get many bids from many people. I used them for a book cover once, and got excellent results from a graphic designer just starting out. She only charged me $10. Some are pretty cheap, others are much more expensive. Just as a word of advice, if English is your most fluent language, make sure the person you hire speaks it, too... else it gets complicated. At the end of the gig, you don't have to pay for it if you're not pleased. You can make revisions as you go along.
The only heads-up with Fiver. If your item involves 'photo' content, please make sure the artist on Fiver cleared the rights. This only applies to covers or materials that use photo or stock items.
Some of the cover artists that use photos--don't always clear the rights there so I suggest you ask them.
