In Search Of
Children's Book Illustrators

This page was suggested to me by children's book illustrators looking for work.

Illustrators Wanted

By the owner of this site. Paid work. Click to learn more.

kids book illustrators

We now live in a long tail world. Anyone can self-publish a children's book. That means lots of book illustrator jobs.

Of course, it also means that many of these new jobs are without the support of a traditional publisher. It can mean partnering with a children's book author on a likely money-losing venture.

So illustrators, authors: the terms of the deal you cut are up to you. The purpose of this page is simply to put authors in touch with illustrators, to alert authors to a gallery of illustrators very eager to put pictures to your words.

Children's book illustrators, jump to these instructions now for posting your profile to the portfolio.

Authors

There are two articles you might want to read before browsing the illustrator profiles at the bottom of this page.

  1. 10 Tips for Finding an Illustrator by artist Kim Sponaugle on my other site, The Shared Self Publishing Experience.

  2. Working with an Illustrator by artist Jim Harris.

Suggestions for children's book illustrators wanting to post an artist's profile

1. You can post up to four sample illustrations to this page. Take advantage!

2. The web remains largely a text-based medium. I know that you're all artists, but PLEASE try to write and write well. (Here's an internet fact: the more words you write, the more apt the search engines are to find your page on this site.) Please know that we will not post profiles that are too short, or that contain duplicate content.

  • If you're cutting and pasting, we're not going to post your profile!

3. Give your profile a punchy title.

To help you structure your profile, consider covering any or all of these points:

  • A description/listing of any relevant schooling
  • A description/listing of your relevant experience
  • A description of your style
  • What media you're proficient in
  • If you have a set fee, state it; if it's negotiable or project dependent, state that too
  • Talk about what you're willing to do to "audition" for a book illustrator job. Are you willing, for example, to do sample sketches?
  • Some words about your collaborative style
  • The web address of a page where more of your illustrations can be seen and you can be contacted. If you'd prefer to be contacted by email, include your email address in your profile.

Add your profile to the list of children's book illustrators!

The children's book authors (and aspiring authors) who come to this site want to know about your skills and offerings. Please read the list above then write about yourself below.

And don't forget to post your best work; it'll be the first thing people see!
