FAQ
Book Illustration Questions
Common questions about our book illustration service. Can't see yours? Just ask.
We illustrate children's picture books, early readers, illustrated fiction and chapter art, and graphic novels. Every project is handled by professional illustrators based in Australia and New Zealand who understand local readers. Whatever your genre or age group, we'll match you with the right artist.
Yes, full-colour picture books are a speciality of ours. That includes character design, full-page spreads and a consistent look from cover to cover. Your dedicated illustrator keeps the style cohesive across every page.
First we agree the style and brief together, then we sketch rough concepts for your approval. Once you are happy, we develop the final artwork, refining together at each stage. You stay in control of every decision along the way.
It depends on the format. A picture book is usually illustrated on every spread, while a novel may need only chapter art or a few key scenes. We help you plan the right number for your story and your budget.
Yes, from soft watercolour to bold cartoon or detailed realism. We match an illustrator to your vision and lock the style in a guide so the look stays consistent throughout. If you have reference images or favourite books, share them and we will work from there.
Yes, you receive full ownership of the final approved illustrations and the files. They are yours to use for print and digital editions, and you keep 100% of your rights, royalties and creative control. There is no royalty share with us.
Illustration is the most time-intensive of our services, so it pays to plan ahead. A full picture book often takes several weeks to a few months, depending on the page count and complexity. We agree a clear schedule up front and confirm the exact timeline in your quote.
Cost depends on the number, complexity and style of illustrations your book needs. You receive a clear fixed quote after a free, no-obligation consultation, with no hidden fees and no royalty share. You only pay for the artwork your story actually requires.
