Authors Love Our Work
“I have to say that I could not have chosen a better company than Book Publisher Onlineto work with me on my Children’s books. With my first book, I was anxious. I didn’t know the process of it all. My project manager, Erin, was there for me every step of the way. She always got back to me whenever I had any questions or concerns. She was very helpful (and patient) and you could tell that she really cares about you and your book. My illustrator, Becky, did such a fantastic job on bringing my words to life with her sketches. I can go on and on about them, but these are only a few of the reasons why I chose to work with them again on my second Children’s book. I highly recommend Book Publisher Online if you are interested in self publishing a book. I know that I will be going back to them when I am ready to self publish my third Children’s book.”
FAQ
At Book Publisher Online, the starting prices for illustrations are $399 for a two-page spread, $299 for a full page, $210 for a half-page, and $150 for spot illustrations. When you work with one of our talented illustrators, you’re guaranteed high-quality images that will captivate your audience. Through our collaborative process, you’ll work with your illustrator to create illustrations that meet your preferences and help bring your vision to life.
At Book Publisher Online, our illustrators do not get royalties. When you use our illustrator services, you simply pay the cost per illustration and do not have to worry about future royalties.
A one-time payment for illustrations is an advantage, as most trade publishers offer royalties to illustrators. If your contract with an illustrator outside of Book Publisher Online is on a royalty basis, that illustrator will get a percentage share of the book sales profits.
We match our illustrators with our authors based on the illustrator’s artistic style. With an established process in place, authors will collaborate with their Project Manager through multiple phases before moving on to approve the final illustrations.
Think about the kind of illustrations you enjoyed as a child and what made them so appealing. If you find similar-looking samples, you can consult with our team to be matched with an illustrator whose style fits your concept.
