What You Can Expect From  a Consulting & Coaching Session

If we make the decision to work together I will review your manuscript and offer you a one hour consultation/critique on it. I will·

Show you the commercial possibilities that your book has for a sale (or if it doesn’t).


Further help to develop your skills, refine your writing craft:
  • Help accelerate your learning curve and support you through out your process
  • Help you master the different and very important elements that goes into a compelling children’s picture book. Allow you to pick my brain and answer any questions you have.
  • Help mold your characters, brainstorm solution, refine plots.
You’ll really be amazed by what you can get in an hour. I promise after our consultation you will have a more publishable product, understand what you have to do (or not do) to get your manuscript up to submission status,and beyond that lead you to your sale. 

If we decide to work together here are some things you should know:

There is a cost for an initial consultation.


You need to be willing to listen, to take direction and implement the suggestions I give you. We all have egos… but for you to grow and prosper you will have to be open to “loving” criticism.  For the money you’re paying me I will tell what you HAVE to hear,  not what you want to hear.  But I promise I’ll be gentle. And respectful.

How much does a children’s book illustrator cost?

A standard 32 page children’s book with simple but appealing artwork:

$800-$1200 or $25-$38 per page

A standard 32 page children’s book with full color and detailed backgrounds
:  $4000-$6000 or $125-$185 per page

 Can’t afford to pay that much?

No worries, there are still ways to get the price to drop.  Passing on the detailed background for example could drop the price per page by up to 30%  Everyone has a budget.  I can find creative ways to shave design time without cutting corners.  

Below is a simple price guide to reference.  Remember: 
  • each project has its own requirements and will need its own quote.
  • Art rights for specified medium only (full rights increase costs)
  • Artist keeps original art

I  would like to commission Lady Rabia.  How does it work?

I will need a copy of the manuscript and a written description of each scene to get an accurate quote.  Once the author and illustrator agree on a price a 30% deposit is required before any work starts. This covers materials, and secures your spot “in line” to complete your work by your deadline.  I will start with very simple thumbnail pencil sketches to make sure placement of each element is correct and to allow for feedback.  From there I will create a more detailed sketch of the scene.  Once the sketches are approved the final product will be created.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.
