“I’ve finished my manuscript, NOW WHAT?!”

Whether you are looking for someone to design your book cover, help you with packaging your product for publication, or for an illustrator to bring your story to life, collaborating can seem like a daunting process for the uninitiated. If you are self-publishing a book, there is a lot involved and finding the right graphic artist to work with you can make all the difference in packaging your product. Once you find the right person, the process can actually be quite seamless and fun.

Your main concern should be to find a professional who’s work inspires you and whom you can trust to illuminate your vision.  Yes, price is always a consideration but it should be balanced with the other important factors. The time you spend connecting with an illustrator/designer/editor directly will be well worth it as you cut out “the middle man,” and their considerable financial mark-ups and logistical mazes.

Working with an graphic artist that has experience with children books, design, layout, and publishing has the additional benefits of an in-house Art Director and Pre-Press Specialist. An experienced graphic artist can help you package a far more enticing product, whether you are pitching or self-publishing. That’s where Illuminated Stories can help.
