Find an illustrator for your independent book

Practical starting points for independent authors. MyBookIllustrator is a free directory; the earlier paid book-creation service is retired.

Prepare a clear brief

Describe the intended readers, manuscript status, characters, page plan, artistic direction, and desired deliverables.

Discuss scope together

Agree on image count, deadlines, revisions, permitted uses, credit, payment terms, and file delivery directly with the illustrator. MyBookIllustrator does not arrange or guarantee those agreements.

Explore real portfolios

Look for work suited to your story. Directory listings are supplied by creators; an email verification or feature is not an endorsement or a guarantee of suitability.
