Illustration
Some books just aren’t complete without pictures. Imagine Roald Dahl without Quentin Blake, or The Very Hungry Caterpillar without Eric Carle’s colourful creations.
If you’ve written a children’s book, or have a project requiring bespoke artwork, we can help. We have a range of trusted artists to choose from, to suit any story and style.
Illustration and artwork
Every project is different, and the simplest way to start a practical discussion regarding illustration for your book is to get in touch.
Our standard illustration services goes something like this…
First, we will present you with a choice of artists capable of a wide range of art styles. Then, once you have chosen your favourite artist, we will help put together a detailed brief for your project. We will negotiate and liaise with the artist, so that your illustrations look just how you pictured they would.
Every image will follow your instructions, and you will have the opportunity to feedback on the artist’s work before anything goes to print.
If you’ve produced your own illustrations, or you’ve already partnered with an artist, that’s no problem. We can lay out your work so images and words work together to create a dynamic, engaging package.
If you have something specific in mind – maybe you’ve written a book of family history and need some family trees putting together, or you’d like maps drawn for your fantasy epic – drop us a line and we’ll be happy to talk things through.
Let’s paint a pretty picture. Get in touch with one of our team!
