I've worked with illustrators who want all kinds of different processes/arrangements, including:

• Sketch the whole book first, then illustrations
• One page at a time, paid per page
• Full finished layout before working on book
• One sketch, then one page
• Multiple sketch options, I choose.
• I'll deliver the complete book and I'll change your story if I want.

Illustration generally takes 3-6 months. My books have ranged 2-11 months for 14 images. Some illustrators are booked out a year or 2. 

DM me for cost questions.
