WHAT YOU GET

Everything needed to launch with confidence.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know before starting a project.

We’ve answered the most common questions about pricing, timelines, revisions, formats, and how we work with clients.

Pricing depends on the number of pages, illustration detail, and whether you need a cover, endpapers, or book layout. We provide a tailored proposal with clear deliverables and milestones once we’ve reviewed your manuscript.

A typical picture book takes 8–12 weeks from creative direction to final artwork. The timeline varies with page count, style complexity, and feedback rounds. We agree on a realistic schedule before starting.

Absolutely. We explore your story, intended reader age, and visual references to recommend an approach that fits. Character studies and a sample illustration help us agree on the style before illustrating the full book.

Our proposals define feedback rounds for character design, page sketches, and final color artwork. Together, we refine each stage before moving forward; additional changes can be discussed and quoted if needed.

You receive high-resolution artwork and agreed print-ready files prepared to your publisher’s specifications, including bleed and color settings. Digital exports and editable source files are included as agreed in your proposal.

Your agreement clearly defines the artwork license, usage rights, and any ownership transfer. We can support self-publishing and traditional publishing plans, with terms discussed and confirmed before the project begins.
