How It Works

I keep the process clear, respectful, and professional.

1. Secure Your Spot Add this deposit to your cart and complete checkout. This reserves your place in my schedule.
2. Share Your Story After checkout I’ll reach out right away. Tell me about your book—genre, number of pages/spreads, vision, mood, and any style references you have.
3. Project Agreement We discuss details, final pricing, timeline, and revision rounds. The $250 deposit is applied to your total. We sign a simple contract and you pay the remaining balance to begin.
4. Rough Sketches → Final Art I create initial sketches for your approval, then complete the full-color illustrations.
5. Delivery & Support You receive high-resolution, print-ready files formatted correctly for KDP or your chosen publisher. I stay available for any final questions.

Investment

Pricing is based on the number of spreads (one spread = a full left + right page layout). Typical starting rates:

• Interior illustrations: $150 per spread (digital) / $300 per spread (traditional watercolor)
• Book covers: $400 – $800 (full wrap with spine and back)

Example: A 30-page book usually needs about 15 spreads.

After you purchase this deposit I’ll send you a custom quote tailored to your exact book — the $250 is automatically deducted from the total.

What I Need From You After Purchase

• Your complete manuscript or detailed story outline
• Approximate number of spreads needed 
• Any specific character descriptions or references
• Overall mood, color palette, and style direction

The clearer your vision, the smoother and more enjoyable the collaboration.

What You Receive

• Custom illustrations created exclusively for your book 
• Multiple revision rounds included
• High-resolution print-ready files
• Commercial usage rights for your book
• Files formatted correctly for your publishing platform

~My Why~

I love turning stories into visual worlds that readers can step into. There’s something powerful about seeing your words illustrated.

I keep the process honest, transparent, and low-pressure on purpose. No hidden fees — just clear communication and artwork you’ll be proud to publish.
