How to choose an ILLUSTRATOR for your Children book?
DEFINE THE VISION: Before searching, identify the theme, and emotional feel of your book.
ESTABLISH A BUDGET: Costs vary based on experience, project complexity, and the artist's rate.
EVALUATE STYLE OVER SUBJECT: Choose an artist whose artistic style matches your vision, rather than someone who has just drawn a similar subject before.
CHECK COMMUNICATION & EXPERIENCE: Ensure the illustrator is a good communicator, understands your project goals, and has experience with the necessary format.
DISCUSS CONTRACTS & REVISIONS: Clarify the number of revisions included
A personalized book featuring multiple loved ones is more than a gift; it's a tangible memory, a treasure chest full of shared moments.
At Dreamy Tale Studio, we firmly believe in the unique power of personalization. A book where a child sees themselves as the hero of their own adventure is a gift that sparks imagination, boosts self-confidence, and can ignite a lifelong love for reading.
Many first-time Children’s book authors think illustration comes last. In reality, illustration often shapes the story, pacing, and emotions.
Style matching is everything in CHILDREN’S BOOK. An illustration should feel like it belongs to the author’s voice—not overpower it.
If you’re an author looking for a creative partner for your next children’s book, we’d be happy to collaborate and help bring your story to life.
We’re excited to share a recent project our studio illustrated for a self-publishing author — a warm and festive Christmas story filled with family moments and holiday magic. ✨
