How to hire a Kids Book Illustrator - Working with a publisher OR self publishing
So I get asked a lot of questions about being a children's book illustrator and i thought why not make an episode to answer a few of them?
This one is about how aAND why to actually hire a kids book illustrator. True its more aimed at authors, and I talk quite a bit about self publishing BUT we chat about working with a publishers and beyond so if your starting out in the industry you may get something out of it :).
Be aware I talk a lot here, so if hearing me ramble then there is a good chance this isn't the ep for you. Come back next week and i'll have something more arty!
