It's far more common that it's a PB Illustrator that can write. While an editor can assist an illustrator with their writing, as with Peter Brown or Jeremy Tankard, it's far more difficult to help with illustrating.<br />(not the layout, but the actual drawing)<br />This author looking for illustrator/illustrators willing to work for authors, will never end. Everyone new to the game has no clue how PB's come to be. They ALL assume they must arrive on the editors desk complete with the art. <br /><br />>I think that's the reason that a lot of PB writers self publish - because they want to choose the illustrator. Most of the time, it shows.<<br /><br />Exactly cynjay!!! You pay nothing, you get, most often, less then nothing. Bad enough when an author thinks you can work full tilt on something for .10 cents a day but worse yet is when they think they are doing the most wonderful thing by "cutting you in" on half of their royalties if you will only draw all the pictures and when a publisher then buys the book!!!! ARRRRGGGGG!!!!!!<br />I really should tell every would be author I am approached by, join a professional authors GROUP and learn how publishing works before you begin your career!<br />hummm, can we tell this subject touches a nerve:)Christine Tripphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058419743726981987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7986595816238301046.post-21387516156022911222009-10-25T00:04:24.051-04:002009-10-25T00:04:24.051-04:00Anon 2:52--If you can both write and illustrate, t...Anon 2:52--If you can both write and illustrate, then you can sell a picture book as a "package," and yes, agents and editors like that. <br /><br />But nobody in the business EXPECTS writers to be able to illustrate, and they certainly wouldn't reject a writer just because he/she doesn't have both skills. They reject writers because their stories aren't good enough or aren't the right fit.

You'd think by now, with all the free information out there, they'd learn but....sigh.<br />And you're right. It's impossible to reason with some of them. They're absolutely convinced that illustrations will help them sell their book. Had one guy who didn't even have a finished manuscript. Just a concept he wanted a few illustrations for so he could 'pitch it' to editors. Jesus.<br />Course now with self-publishing, that's a different matter. If they want to pay to have their book illustrated , that's their business. But it's funny how the delusion continues. You wouldn't believe how many offer no money up front. It's 'a share of the book sales."
