Book Cover Art Illustrator Samples and Profiles

Authors, illustrators...

Self publishing is coming of age. Authors are taking responsibility for all aspects of bringing their books to market.

That can mean finding your own illustrator. (Read these 10 tips for finding a great illustrator.)

The book illustrators posting below have expressed a willingness to work with self publishing writers.

Authors, I'm sending you to the bottom of this page now, where you can sample book cover art and illustrators. Bye!

Illustrators, to post your profile...

1. You can only post one sample illustration to this page, so make it your best.
2. The web remains largely a text-based medium. I know you're an artist, but PLEASE try to write and write well. (Consider this internet factoid: the more words you write, the more apt the search engines are to find your page on this site.)

To help structure your profile, consider covering these points:

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

Now here goes...
