Hire a Children's Book Illustrator/Designer

Writing a children's book? Looking into Amazon's Createspace to self publish?

HOW?

A contract is issued with payment dates, artwork due dates, and copyright restrictions for both parties (author and myself.) Work will normally take from 3 to 6 months to complete, give or take a month depending on my workload. Payments will normally be made at different stages throughout the project as work is completed and approved. There will normally be an upfront percentage to pay before work is started. This upfront fee is not refundable as it is the kill fee if the client decides to scrap the project or work with an alternative illustrator after work has begun.
